okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is pm_runtime_set_suspended(9) 💅 buckle up, it's a short one but it's lowkey important.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pm_runtime_set_suspended — the function that sets your runtime PM status to "suspended". that's it, that's the vibe 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int pm_runtime_set_suspended (struct device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dev — the target device. the main character of this whole operation 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what does it do? It sets the runtime PM status of dev to RPM_SUSPENDED, and it makes sure that any dependencies of it get taken into account. not me making sure your whole dependency situation is handled, no cap 💅

⚠️ big warning bestie, read this twice: it is not valid to call this function for devices with runtime PM enabled. like, fr fr, don't do it. that's a no-go zone 🙈💀
