okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one but it's kind of iconic. it's giving "last one to leave the party turns off the lights" energy π‘β¨
β¨ NAME β¨
amdgpu_atombios_fini β free the driver info and callbacks for atombios π«Ά
like, it's the cleanup crew. the friend who helps you pack up after the function. we love her for it.
π SYNOPSIS π
void amdgpu_atombios_fini (struct amdgpu_device *adev );
no return value, bestie. she just does the thing and dips π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
adevβ amdgpu_device pointer π that's it. that's the whole argument list. one (1) pointer, and she's the main character.
π DESCRIPTION π
so what does she actually do? she frees the driver info and register access callbacks for the ATOM interpreter (r4xx+). π§Ήβ¨
basically all that ATOM interpreter setup β the driver info, the register access callbacks β gets released here. and when does this get called? at driver shutdown. πͺπ literally the "ok we're done here, everybody out" moment for the driver.
lowkey important: this is the teardown counterpart. if amdgpu_atombios_init(9) is the glow-up, this is the... un-glow-up? the cleanup. the self-care of releasing your resources πββοΈ
