pinctrl_remove_gpio_range(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner of the group chat, bestie 💅 — this one is pinctrl_remove_gpio_range, and its whole job is to remove a range of GPIOs from a pin controller. That's it. That's the vibe. Iconic, lowkey surgical, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

signature check, and yes it's giving void — no return value to obsess over. Here's the exact fit:

void pinctrl_remove_gpio_range (struct pinctrl_dev *pctldev , struct
       pinctrl_gpio_range *range );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• pctldev — the pin controller device you're removing the range from, aka the main character device 💖
• range — the GPIO range to remove, aka the thing getting gently yeeted out of there 🫶
