cdns_i2c_remove(9)

💅 cdns_i2c_remove(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so this is the cdns_i2c_remove(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely one of the shorter ones so we can absolutely get through it together. grab a strawberry 🍓

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdns_i2c_remove — it unregisters the device after releasing the resources. that's the whole vibe. cleanup era. 🧹✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void cdns_i2c_remove (struct platform_device *pdev );

yes bestie, void — it returns nothing, it just does. main character energy fr fr 💅 (and keep the spacing exactly like that, iykyk)

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — the handle to the struct platform_device structure. that's your little passport to the device you're about to tidy up 🫶

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does it actually do? this function frees all the resources allocated to the device. all of them. no cap, no leftovers, no "oh i'll get that later" — it's the full clean-out. 🧚‍♀️✨

think of it as the goodbye-at-the-airport moment but for kernel resources. iconic, honestly. 🌈

---

👑 RETURN 👑

0 always. 💀

like — always. that's what the page says, that's what i'm telling you. 0, every single time. (and yes, the synopsis up there says void, and the return section says 0 — i'm not the one who wrote it, i'm just the one delivering the message 😭🙈 keep both, that's the assignment.)
