device_remove_of_node(9)

💅 device_remove_of_node(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so real talk, this one is a little baby page but she's important. It's device_remove_of_node 💖, a kernel API function, and honestly? She's the "we're so done" of device tree nodes.

---

✨ NAME ✨

device_remove_of_node — Remove an of_node from a device 🦋

Like, the of_node is leaving the chat. Periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void device_remove_of_node (struct device *dev );

Yep that's the whole thing. void return, one argument, no notes. Iconic minimalism honestly 🎀

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• dev — the device whose device tree node is being removed. That's the one getting un-linked from her of_node, no cap 💅
