okay so real talk, this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for it. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvmem_device_put — the "put it back, we're done here" to the earlier "got it" — it puts an already-got nvmem device 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void nvmem_device_put (struct nvmem_device *nvmem );

like, that's it. that's the whole function. no cap 💀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• nvmem — pointer to the nvmem device that needs to be released. Just hand it over, she'll take it from here 💖
