ngl there's no DESCRIPTION section, no OPTIONS section, no RETURN VALUE section on this page — that's not me skipping homework, that's genuinely all the original gave us 🙈 so we're not out here inventing lore, periodt.

okay that's the whole page bestie, love that for us 🧚 source is ./drivers/pinctrl and it's dated October 2026 — signed, sealed, delivered, 💜 bye!
