rio_release_dev(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the rio_release_dev(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this one is literally about freeing a RIO device struct. No cap. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void rio_release_dev (struct device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the LDM device associated with a RIO device struct. That's the one we're working with, periodt. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So it gets the RIO device struct associated with the device, and then the RIO device struct is freed. That's the whole vibe: grab it, free it. 🫶
