pinconf_gen...se_dt_config(9)

✨ NAME ✨

pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config —

okay so bestie, that's genuinely the whole NAME section 😭 the original just drops the function name and a lil dash with nothing after it. No tagline, no vibe, just… the name. We move.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config (struct device_node *np , struct
       pinctrl_dev *pctldev , unsigned long **configs , unsigned int *nconfigs
       );

that's the whole signature, copy-pasted with love, no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• np — the node that's holding your pinconfig properties. like, this is the tree node we're reading from, she's the source of truth 🌸
• pctldev — the pincontrol device. your pinctrl bestie 🫶
• configs — an array with nconfigs entries holding the generic pinconf values. big heads up: this bad boy must be freed when it's no longer necessary. don't just leave her hanging, free her 🙈
• nconfigs — the number of configurations. literally just the count 🔥

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she actually do? she parses the config properties into generic pinconfig values. that's it, that's the whole job ✨ parse the properties → generic pinconfig values. iconic behaviour, honestly 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• the kernel file ./drivers/pinctrl/pinconf-generic.c — go read her, iykyk 📖
• pinconf_generic_dump_pins(9) — the dumpy bestie 🦋
• parse_fw_cfg(9) — firmware config parsing energy ⭐
• pinconf_generic_parse_dt_pinmux(9) — the pinmux sibling, we stan a family 🌸

---

💀 reminder from your girl: that configs array must be freed when you're done with it. not "whenever", not "when the process exits", when no longer necessary. memory leaks are not the vibe 🙈

and that's the page, bestie!! 💜 this lil masterpiece lives in the ./drivers/pinctrl directory, dropped October 2026, and it's filed under the Kernel API Manual (which is why the title above is all pinconf_gen...se_dt_config(9) with the manual name folded in 🎀). mwah, go free your configs 💅✨
