From ce284f882022ebcb953984c7eccf4fc4eb531978 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Wilczynski Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2025 15:38:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] pwm: Export `pwmchip_release` for external use MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The upcoming Rust abstraction layer for the PWM subsystem uses a custom `dev->release` handler to safely manage the lifetime of its driver data. To prevent leaking the memory of the `struct pwm_chip` (allocated by `pwmchip_alloc`), this custom handler must also call the original `pwmchip_release` function to complete the cleanup. Make `pwmchip_release` a global, exported function so that it can be called from the Rust FFI bridge. This involves removing the `static` keyword, adding a prototype to the public header, and exporting the symbol.
