🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_dsb_cleanup — To cleanup DSB context. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a closer, a finisher, the friend who makes sure the group chat doesn't get left on read 🫶

---

no return value, no drama, just vibes and a pointer 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• dsb — the DSB context. yeah. that's the whole argument list. one (1) single parameter and she ate 🔥

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so here's the tea, bestie: this function cleans up the DSB context by unpinning and releasing the VMA object associated with it. that's the whole thing, no cap.

lowkey the way it works is very "pack up your stuff, we're leaving" energy — it unhooks the VMA object that's tied to that DSB context and lets it go. unpin, release, done, periodt. 🌈

ngl it's giving "end of the function lifecycle" main character energy — you call her when the DSB context needs to be tidied away, and she handles the VMA object like a pro 🧚
