π DESCRIPTION π
So this function creates a kset structure dynamically and registers it with sysfs. boom, done, iconic π₯
When you're finished with this structure, call kset_unregister and the structure will be dynamically freed when it is no longer being used β like, it doesn't ghost you immediately, it waits until nobody's using it, which is lowkey very polite of it π«Ά
and if the kset was not able to be created?NULLgets returned. no kset, no vibes, justNULLπ so pls check that return value bestie, fr fr
