okay so bestie, welcome to extcon_dev_unregister(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the page where we say bye-bye to an extcon device, and honestly? it's giving cleanup era ✨

✨ NAME ✨

extcon_dev_unregister — unregister the extcon device. that's it, that's the whole vibe. we're taking it off the registry, no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void extcon_dev_unregister (struct extcon_dev *edev );

literally one function, one pointer, zero drama 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • edev — the extcon device you're unregistering. the actual one. the main character of this whole operation 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the part you actually need to remember, bestie, because it's lowkey important 👀

this does not call kfree(edev) — because edev was not allocated by this class. so like, don't expect this function to free your memory for you, that's not its job, it's not on the clock for that 🫶

periodt. that's the whole caution. remember it 💀
