🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe check on what this function actually does — and she does a lot, no cap:

This function stops the Tx queue, disables interrupts and frees the IRQ for the EMAC device.

It also disconnects the PHY device associated with the EMAC device. 💅

like, she doesn't just leave — she fully closes up the whole group chat, mutes every notification, and unfollows the PHY. iconic behavior fr fr 🫶✨
