v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_free(9)

✨ NAME ✨

v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_free — the lil cleanup queen 💅 that frees the V4L2 fwnode you got from v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_alloc_parse()

(this is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, so you know it's legit 👑)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_free (struct v4l2_fwnode_endpoint *vep );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vep — the V4L2 fwnode whose resources are getting released, aka the thing we're sending off to a better place 🦋

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

Okay so here's the good news: it is safe to call this function with a NULL argument 😌 like, no cap, nothing explodes. It's also totally safe to call it on a V4L2 fwnode where the parsing failed — no drama, no consequences, she just cleans up and moves on 💖

fr fr this is the "don't stress about it" function. Messy pointer? Failed parse? She doesn't care. She's built different.
