💅 nouveau_i2c_encoder_destroy(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's a lil function called nouveau_i2c_encoder_destroy, and yes it's exactly as niche and iconic as it sounds 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nouveau_i2c_encoder_destroy — unregister the I2C device backing an encoder 🫶

like, it's the cleanup girlie. the one who shows up at the end of the party and turns the lights off 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nouveau_i2c_encoder_destroy (struct drm_encoder *drm_encoder );

that's the whole vibe. one arg, returns nothing (void), does its thing and dips 🌈

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• drm_encoder — the encoder that's getting unregistered 💀 like it's literally the thing you're tearing down, no cap

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie: you call this from the destroy method of an I2C slave encoder driver 🎀 — specifically once I2C access is no longer needed. that's the whole condition fr fr. no I2C access needed anymore? that's your cue, that's your moment, call the destroy function 🌸

the way that this is literally just the goodbye function 😭 it's giving "thanks for the I2C, we're done here" energy and honestly? obsessed 👑

lowkey important: the timing matters — this goes in the driver's destroy method, and it's only correct when I2C access isn't needed any more. don't be out here calling it early, bestie 🙈
