comedi_pcmcia_auto_unconfig(9)

💅 comedi_pcmcia_auto_unconfig — the Kernel API Manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to the comedi_pcmcia_auto_unconfig(9) page 🎀 this one's short and sweet, no cap, but it's lowkey important if you're out here juggling PCMCIA COMEDI devices in kernel land. let's get into it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

comedi_pcmcia_auto_unconfig — Unconfigure/remove a PCMCIA COMEDI device 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void comedi_pcmcia_auto_unconfig (struct pcmcia_device *link );

that signature is literally giving "I take one pointer and I handle business" 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• link — the PCMCIA device. yeah, that's it. one argument, we love a low-maintenance queen 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the way this works: you're typically calling this from the pcmcia_driver (*remove) function. it auto-unconfigures a COMEDI device attached to this PCMCIA device, using a pointer to the struct device embedded in *link as the hardware device. main character energy, fr fr 🌟

and girl, heads up — the COMEDI driver's "detach" handler will be called during unconfiguration of the COMEDI device. so that's happening, that's a thing, be ready for it 😌

⭐ note note note: the COMEDI device may have already been unconfigured using the COMEDI_DEVCONFIG ioctl. if that's the case, this attempt to unconfigure it again should be ignored. like… it's already left the party, don't drag it back through the door 💀
