✨ rpr0521_set_power_state(9) ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, bestie β€” like, the actual kernel docs, not a vibe. sit down, hydrate, and let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

rpr0521_set_power_state β€” handles runtime PM state and sensors enabled status

that's it, that's the whole gig. runtime PM state + which sensors are enabled? she's doing both. multitasking icon πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int rpr0521_set_power_state (struct rpr0521_data *data , bool on , u8 device_mask );

look at her. three args, returns an int, no cap. copy it exactly if you're writing code, okay?? character for character, bestie πŸ™ˆ


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • data β€” the rpr0521 device private data. like, her personal little diary of device info πŸ““
  • on β€” the state to be set for the devices in device_mask. on or off, pick a lane ✨
  • device_mask β€” bitmask specifying for which device we need to update on state. so it's giving "which ones, specifically" energy πŸ”₯

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

okay this is the important part, so listen up fr fr πŸ‘‘

Calls for this function must be balanced so that each ON should have matching OFF.

not me being dramatic but if you don't balance these, pm usage_count gets out of sync. that is a real sentence and a real consequence. no vibes-based power management allowed 😭

so: every ON gets an OFF. every OFF gets an ON. it's a two-way street, it's a situationship with rules, it's balance 🌈
