✨ sdw_release_stream(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for sdw_release_stream 💅 this one's short and sweet, and honestly? iconic for it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdw_release_stream — frees the assigned stream runtime 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void sdw_release_stream (struct sdw_stream_runtime *stream );

no cap, that's the whole signature. slay.

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• stream — the SoundWire stream runtime 👑 this is the thing you're about to set free.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

sdw_release_stream should be called only once per stream. periodt. 💀 that's the whole rule and she is not flexible about it.

fr fr, only once — don't come back for seconds, don't double-dip, don't "just to be safe" call it again. once. per. stream. 🙈

mwah 💋 that's the page — brought to you from ./drivers/soundwire, dated October 2026, and yeah the header and footer both say sdw_release_stream(9) because she's consistent like that 🫶✨
