v4l2_fwnode_put_link(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the v4l2_fwnode_put_link(9) page — it's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's a tiny little function with main-character energy. keep your eyes on the must, because that part is not a drill. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

v4l2_fwnode_put_link — drop references to nodes in a link. that's it, that's the whole name, and it ate. 💅

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

void v4l2_fwnode_put_link (struct v4l2_fwnode_link *link );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• link — pointer to the V4L2 fwnode link data structure. like, the link data struct you're holding, bestie. no extra mystery.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Drop references to the local and remote nodes in the link. that's the job. clean, simple, iconic. ✨

This function must be called on every link parsed with v4l2_fwnode_parse_link. not most links. not the links you remember. every link. if you parsed it with v4l2_fwnode_parse_link, this function is the one that must be called on that link, periodt. 🔥

bestie warning: the "must" is doing a lot of work here — don't skip it, don't leave your link references hanging, and don't make it weird. 😭
