pinctrl_force_sleep(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, you're looking at pinctrl_force_sleep(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving tiny-but-mighty kernel API main-character energy 💅✨ The name is literally the whole assignment: pinctrl_force_sleep — turn a given controller device into sleep state 😴 No cap, that's the vibe.

🛠 SYNOPSIS 🛠

Here's the exact signature, bestie — don't let the spacing jump-scare you:

int pinctrl_force_sleep (struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev );

So yes, it returns an int and takes a struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev. Iconic, concise, obsessed 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pctldev — pin controller device. That's it, that's the argument. She is the pin controller device, the main character of this call 👑💖
