🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_hw_remove — remove Qed hardware. that's it, that's the whole vibe. no cap. ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void qed_hw_remove (struct qed_dev *cdev );

like, look at her. void in, void out... well, void out later, we'll get there. she takes exactly one thing and returns absolutely nothing and she's thriving. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cdev — the Qed dev pointer. that's your whole hardware situation in one lil pointer, and yes you gotta hand her the right one, bestie. 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Void. nothing comes back. emptiness. silence. she does the thing and dips. 💀 (this is normal, don't @ me)
