💅 reset_contro...ive_released(9) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that manual, the one with all the reset controller lore. buckle up, this one's short but it's important ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

reset_control_get_exclusive_released — look up a reset controller and grab a reference to it that's exclusive... but like, temporarily exclusive. it's giving "you can have it, but only for a sec" 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct reset_control * reset_control_get_exclusive_released (struct device *dev , const char *id );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the device that's gonna get reset by the controller. main character device energy 👑
• id — the name of the reset line. yep, that's the whole thing. lowkey simple fr fr

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function returns a struct reset_control, or an IS_ERR condition carrying an errno if things go sideways 😭 — that's the vibe check, handle it.

here's the important part, no cap: any reset-controls that come out of this function must be acquired via reset_control_acquire before you can actually use them, and afterwards they should be released via reset_control_release. like, you don't just get to run off with them, bestie — there's a whole commitment situation going on 🫶

using id names is optional. yes, optional. you do you ✨
