🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so dwc3_core_exit disables and cleans up the core hardware state. no cap, that’s its whole job. 🧹💅

This is usually handled internally by dwc3, so don’t just go calling it for funsies. It must only be called when using skip_core_init_mode and only after dwc3_core_init. That part is serious, bestie 😭

Afterwards, dwc3_core_init may be called again. so like… exit, clean up, and you can re-init later. slay 🔥

⚠️ warning bestie: this is usually handled internally by dwc3, and it must only be called when using skip_core_init_mode and only after dwc3_core_init. please do not freestyle this one 💀
