💅 drm_client_dev_unregister(9) — Unregister clients 👑

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this page is all about drm_client_dev_unregister, and it is literally the cleanup queen 👑 — it unregisters clients. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

drm_client_dev_unregister — Unregister clients 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void drm_client_dev_unregister (struct drm_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the DRM device. That's the whole vibe check for this parameter, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea ☕: this function releases all clients by calling each client's drm_client_funcs.unregister callback. Every single one gets the callback treatment, periodt.

That callback function is responsible for releasing all resources, including the client itself. So yes, the callback is the main character here and has to clean up its own whole situation 🧹✨

And the helper drm_dev_unregister calls this function. Drivers that use that helper don't need to call this function themselves — so if that's you, you can chill, bestie 😌💖

Sign-off time, bestie 🎀 This little page came from ./drivers/gpu/drm, with the source/version + date footer vibe of October 2026, and it's literally drm_client_dev_unregister(9) — slay, bye! 💖✨🦋
