I2C_USE_CLIENT(9) | I2C and SMBus Subsystem | I2C_USE_CLIENT(9) |
NAME¶
i2c_use_client - increments the reference count of the i2c client structure
SYNOPSIS¶
struct i2c_client * i2c_use_client(struct i2c_client * client);
ARGUMENTS¶
client
the client being referenced
DESCRIPTION¶
Each live reference to a client should be refcounted. The driver model does that automatically as part of driver binding, so that most drivers don't need to do this explicitly: they hold a reference until they're unbound from the device.
A pointer to the client with the incremented reference counter is returned.
