💅 omap_rproc_release_timer(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so bestie, we're diving into the kernel API manual for omap_rproc_release_timer(9) and honestly? it's a little cutie. it does one thing and it does it well. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

omap_rproc_release_timer — release a timer for a remoteproc 💖

the name literally tells you everything, like it's giving "i'm a function and i release timers." iconic.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int omap_rproc_release_timer (struct omap_rproc_timer *timer );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. returns an int, takes one pointer, we move. ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• timer — handle to a OMAP rproc timer 💫 like, this is the actual timer you're about to set free. the one you're handing over so it can go live its life with somebody else. no cap.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this little helper function is used primarily to release a timer associated with a remoteproc. that's its whole main character moment.

and the best part? once you release it, the dmtimer will be available for other clients to use. it's not gone, it's not destroyed, it's just... free agent era. 🕊️ other clients can scoop it up and give it a whole new job. slay for the timer honestly.

so like, think of it as "i'm done with you, go be great somewhere else." not mean, just ✨moving on✨.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success — we love a clean win 💅
• otherwise, a failure as returned by DMTimer ops — so if it flops, the error you get back is whatever the DMTimer ops hand you. not us guessing, that's just how it is fr fr.

lowkey a reminder: this releases the timer, it doesn't nuke it. after this call the dmtimer is up for grabs by other clients, so don't go thinking you still own it. that would be a vibe check you'd fail 💀

and that's the whole page bestie!! 🌸 this came out of the Kernel API Manual, sourced from ./drivers/remoteproc and dated October 2026 — so go forth, release those timers, and remember: 0 on success is the only energy we're accepting today. periodt. 💅✨🎀
