💅 pinctrl_gene...remove_group(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this is the pinctrl_gene...remove_group(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and we're about to make pin-group removal make sense. no cap, it's giving very specific kernel internals, and we're gonna slay it together 🫶✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pinctrl_generic_remove_group — removes a numbered pin group 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int pinctrl_generic_remove_group (struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev , unsigned
       int selector );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pctldev — pin controller device. this is the pin controller main character 🎛️
• selector — group number. literally the group's numbered lil identifier 🔢

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

🚨 okay so important vibe check: the caller must take care of locking. that's not handled here, bestie — you gotta lock it yourself, fr fr. 🔐
