💅 cdns_ufs_pltfrm_remove(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is cdns_ufs_pltfrm_remove — the little function whose whole job is removing the ufs driver. that's it. that's the vibe. she cleans up and she leaves. iconic behaviour honestly 🧹✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdns_ufs_pltfrm_remove — literally just removes the ufs driver. no cap, that's the entire assignment 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void cdns_ufs_pltfrm_remove (struct platform_device *pdev );

like… she takes one (1) pointer and returns absolutely nothing. void queen. she gives nothing and takes pdev. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — pointer to the platform device handle 🦋 that's the one thing she needs from you, bestie. hand her the handle and she's good.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 (success). 🎉 that's it. zero. the most unproblematic number. she ate and left no crumbs, and also no error codes.

if you're obsessed with this file (and honestly same), the kernel file lives at ./drivers/ufs/host/cdns-pltfrm.c — go read the whole thing, it's giving lore 👑

and here's the whole friend group, all in section 9:

• cdns_ufs_get_l4_attr(9)
• cdns_ufs_set_l4_attr(9)
• cdns_ufs_set_hclkdiv(9)
• cdns_ufs_hce_enable_notify(9)

• cdns_ufs_m31_16nm_phy_initialization(9)
• cdns_ufs_pltfrm_probe(9)

her sister function cdns_ufs_pltfrm_probe(9) is the one who adds stuff, so like… they're a matched set. probe and remove. balance. harmony. the ecosystem is thriving 🌸
