πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, we’re looking at netxbig_gpio_ext_remove(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s lowkey a tiny cleanup icon. let’s get into it πŸ’…βœ¨

πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

netxbig_gpio_ext_remove β€” clean up GPIO extension data, no cap πŸ§ΉπŸ’–

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void netxbig_gpio_ext_remove (void *data );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • data β€” the managed resource data to clean up. that’s the thing getting tidied away, bestie 🫢

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here’s the vibe: we pick GPIO descriptors from another device than the device our driver is probing to. because of that, we need to register a specific callback to free these up using managed resources. it’s giving β€œdon’t just leave them there, bestie” energy 😭✨

fr fr, this is the cleanup callback situation β€” it exists so those descriptors can get freed properly through managed resources.
