🌸 regulator_bulk_get(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's from regulator_bulk_get(9) and it's genuinely so useful, no cap 💅

✨ NAME ✨

regulator_bulk_get — get multiple regulator consumers 🫶 (yes, multiple, we're being efficient today)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int regulator_bulk_get (struct device *dev , int num_consumers , struct
regulator_bulk_data *consumers );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • dev — the Device to supply. like, who's getting the power, bestie 🔌
  • num_consumers — Number of consumers to register. count 'em, don't guess 💀
  • consumers — Configuration of consumers; clients are stored here. this is the spot where the good stuff lands 📥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This helper function lets drivers get several regulator consumers in one single operation — like ordering the whole group's boba in one go instead of twelve separate trips 🧋✨

But here's the important part, and I need you to hear me: if any of the regulators cannot be acquired, then any regulators that were already allocated get freed before returning to the caller. so it's all-or-nothing, no half-committed vibes. it cleans up after itself, which honestly? iconic 🌈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, or a negative error number on failure. that's it, that's the whole mood 🙈
