rio_unregister_driver(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is rio_unregister_driver(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual — and it does exactly what the name says: it unregisters a RIO driver. Periodt. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void rio_unregister_driver (struct rio_driver *rdrv );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rdrv — the RIO driver structure to unregister, aka your struct rio_driver bestie that’s getting removed from the registered lineup.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here’s the vibe: this function deletes the struct rio_driver from the list of registered RIO drivers. No cap, it’s literally taking it off the list.

Then it gives the driver a chance to clean up by calling its remove function for each device it was responsible for. Very “let me tidy up my room before I go” energy. 🧹✨

After that, it marks those devices as driverless. The devices stay there, but their driver situation is giving “no main character in sight.” 😭
