ca8210_remove(9)

💅 ca8210_remove(9) — like, the whole Kernel API Manual energy, bestie

okay so real talk, this is a section 9 kernel API manual page for ca8210_remove, and it's here to tell you how to shut a ca8210 all the way down when it gets disconnected. lowkey emotional, but we move 🥲✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

ca8210_remove — shut down a ca8210 upon being disconnected 🫶

like... it's the goodbye function. the "okay bestie, you're unplugged, let's close up shop" moment. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ca8210_remove (struct spi_device *spi_device );

the way that it returns void — it's giving "I don't owe you a return value," main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• spi_device — pointer to spi device data structure 🦋 (yes bestie, a pointer, so it's pointing at the spi device's data structure. iconic.)

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 or a linux error code 💀

okay so the synopsis says void and the return section says 0 or a linux error code — that's literally what the page says, so I'm not gonna pretend to know better. that's the lore. iykyk 🙈
