✨ NAME ✨

mei_txe_remove — Device Removal Routine 🎀

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

void mei_txe_remove (struct pci_dev *pdev );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• pdev — the PCI device structure. that’s the arg, and honestly she’s the main character here 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the tea is: mei_remove is called by the PCI subsystem to alert the driver that it should release a PCI device. yes, the description says mei_remove — that’s what the page says, not me being chaotic 🙈. so the PCI subsystem taps the driver on the shoulder and is like “bestie, release this PCI device,” and that’s the whole routine. slay. periodt. 💅
