mpt_free_fw_memory(9)

💖 mpt_free_fw_memory(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes, the kernel section, the big leagues ✨ this one's called mpt_free_fw_memory, and it's literally about freeing firmware memory 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mpt_free_fw_memory — free firmware memory 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mpt_free_fw_memory (MPT_ADAPTER *ioc );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one function, one pointer, no returns 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ioc — Pointer to MPT_ADAPTER structure 💜 it's giving "hand me the adapter and I'll handle the rest"

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, and it's honestly a two-branch situation 🍓

if alt_img is NULL, it deletes from the ioc structure. periodt 💀

else, it deletes a secondary image in the same format 🌈 two paths, one function, no notes.

like… that's the whole function. short and iconic, lowkey the main character of "cleanup routines" 😭
