✨ NAME ✨

ishtp_cl_device_remove — the bus remove() callback 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ishtp_cl_device_remove (struct device *dev );

like, that's the whole signature. void return, one arg, no cap 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the device structure. that's it, that's the arg 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this one is a bus remove callback, and what it does is it calls the driver's remove function. basically it hands off the goodbye 👋

and here's the context that matters: the ISH driver model only supports built in — meaning no loadable-module situation — so this is primarily called during pci driver init failure. yeah. it's the "welp, that didn't work" cleanup moment 😭

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns whatever the driver remove call returns. it's giving return value from driver remove call, periodt ⭐
