✨ NAME ✨

host1x_device_exit β€” the lil function that uninitializes a host1x logical device 🧚


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int host1x_device_exit (struct host1x_device *device );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • device β€” the host1x logical device, aka the main character of this whole page πŸ‘‘

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so here's the vibe: when the driver for a host1x logical device gets unloaded, it can call this function to tear down each of its clients. like, all of them. every single one. no stragglers 🫢

typically you do this after a subsystem-specific data structure has already been removed and the functionality can no longer be used β€” so at that point there's literally nothing left to do except clean up, and that's exactly what this little icon does πŸ’…
