💅 pinmux_generic_remove_function — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's short and sweet, and it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pinmux_generic_remove_function — literally just removes a numbered function. that's the whole job. no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

so you hand it a pin controller device and a function number, and it gives you back an int. iconic signature, no notes. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pctldev — the pin controller device. your main character struct, the one doing all the work. 👑
  • selector — the function number. which function are we removing? this number. that's it, that's the vibe check. 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the actual thing this does is right there in the name — it removes a numbered function. simple. elegant. slay.

but read this part, bestie: the caller must take care of locking. not the function, not some helpful helper — you. so if you forget, that's on you, and the vibes will be immaculate but the concurrency will NOT be. 🫠

⚠️ fr fr: the caller must take care of locking. consider this your friendly reminder in bold, because locking bugs are the literal worst. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🧚💜

sign-off time: this little gem comes from ./drivers/pinctrl, dated October 2026, and it's filed under pinmux_gener...ove_function(9) — yes the header name is truncated with the ..., no that's not a typo, that's just manpage life. 😭 go forth, remove functions, and lock responsibly. mwah. 💋🎀
