regulator_put(9)

💅 regulator_put(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to regulator_put(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the page about letting go of a regulator source — yes, the "free" one, quotes very much included 💀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

regulator_put — literally "free" the regulator source 🦋 (the quotes are doing a LOT of work here, iykyk)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void regulator_put (struct regulator *regulator );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap 🫶

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• regulator — the regulator source, babes. that's the thing you're releasing 👑

---

🎀 NOTE 🎀

⚠️ listen to me. drivers must make sure that every single regulator_enable call made on this regulator source is balanced by regulator_disable calls before they call this function. every one. balanced. like a budget. like a group chat where everyone replies. if you don't, that's on you, not me 😭💅
