✨ NAME ✨

pci_epc_mem_exit — cleanup the pci_epc_mem structure

like, the whole job. it cleans up the pci_epc_mem structure. that's it. that's the function. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pci_epc_mem_exit (struct pci_epc *epc );

returns void, so no exit-status drama, no "did it work" vibe check needed. it just does the thing. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• epc — the EPC device that invoked pci_epc_mem_exit 👑 this is literally the device calling in to say "hey, tear down my stuff please"

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Invoke this one to cleanup the pci_epc_mem structure that got allocated in pci_epc_mem_init. 🫶

that's it. that's the whole description. it's the reverse of init, the closing bracket to init's opening bracket, the "ok we're done here" of the whole pci_epc_mem situation. so if you called pci_epc_mem_init and you're now packing up — this is your girl. ✨

not me emphasizing that the structure being cleaned up is the one from pci_epc_mem_init specifically, because like… that's the detail that matters, bestie. don't come for me. 😭
