i2c_atr_delete(9)

💅 i2c_atr_delete(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got an I2C ATR helper living its best life, and now it's time to send it off gracefully. That's literally this page. Welcome to i2c_atr_delete, bestie — it's giving "cleanup era" and honestly? Iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

i2c_atr_delete — delete an I2C ATR helper. That's it. That's the whole job. She's a one-task queen and she ate. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i2c_atr_delete (struct i2c_atr *atr );

Returns nothing (void) — no cap, no return value, she just does the thing and dips. 💨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• atr — the I2C ATR helper that's getting deleted. Yep, this is the main character of the whole function. Say bye 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe check, and this part is serious, bestie — it's a precondition, not a suggestion:

all the adapters you added with i2c_atr_add_adapter must be removed first by calling i2c_atr_del_adapter.

Like, all of them. Every single one. You cannot skip this step, you cannot "do it later", you cannot hope the kernel won't notice 😭 Clean up your adapters with i2c_atr_del_adapter before you call i2c_atr_delete, or the vibe is ruined. Consider this your bestie intervention. ✨
