💅 thermal_unb...ev_from_trip(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it cute 🎀

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the page is literally called thermal_unb...ev_from_trip(9) (yes the title is abbreviated like that, no I don't know why, the kernel just does that sometimes 💀). anyway, buckle up, it's thermal-zone girl summer 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

thermal_unbind_cdev_from_trip — unbind a cooling device from a thermal zone. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🧊

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void thermal_unbind_cdev_from_trip (struct thermal_zone_device *tz ,
       struct thermal_trip_desc *td , struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev );

look at her. three args, returns void, absolutely no notes. main character energy 👑

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• tz — pointer to a struct thermal_zone_device. like, the thermal zone in question, the whole zone, the mothership 🫶
• td — descriptor of the trip point to unbind cdev from. literally the specific trip spot we're breaking up with 💔
• cdev — pointer to a struct thermal_cooling_device. the cooling device that is so getting unbound rn 🧊✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea ☕: this interface function unbinds a thermal cooling device from the certain trip point of a thermal zone device. that's the entire plot. no cap.

and the way that this function is usually called?? inside the thermal zone device's .unbind callback. iykyk 🔥 so if you see it there, that's not a glitch, that's just her living her truth 💅

bestie note 🫶: thermal_bind_cdev_to_trip(9) is literally right there in the list — that's the bind version, this page is the unbind version. they're sisters. don't mix them up 💀

and that's the page!! 💖 shoutout to ./drivers/thermal for being the source, and to October 2026 for the date — yes that's the date on the footer, we're being fashionably ahead of schedule 🦋✨ mwah, love u, go unbind responsibly 😭🎀
