stmmac_ptp_unregister(9)

✨ stmmac_ptp_unregister ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's from the kernel docs, and it's about yeeting a PTP clock driver out of the kernel. Short page, but we're gonna make it iconic. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

stmmac_ptp_unregister — no cap, the original page literally just has a dash after this, so consider this your moment of mystery. 🕵️‍♀️

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void stmmac_ptp_unregister (struct stmmac_priv *priv);

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• priv — the driver's private structure, aka where all the driver's own personal secrets live. It's struct stmmac_priv * and you pass it straight in. Respect the pointer, bestie. 🫶

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here's the vibe: this function will remove/unregister the ptp clock driver from the kernel. That's it. That's the whole job. It's the un-register. The anti-register. The "we're so done here" of PTP clock drivers. 💀

If stmmac_ptp_register(9) is the "hey bestie welcome to the kernel" moment, this is the "okay byeeee" moment. It takes your priv and handles the cleanup. No return value — it's void, so don't go looking for a status code, it's not giving you one. 👑

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

• The kernel source file itself, ./drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_ptp.c — go read it, it's where the real lore lives 📖
• stmmac_adjust_freq(9)
• stmmac_adjust_time(9)
• stmmac_get_time(9)
• stmmac_set_time(9)
• stmmac_get_syncdevicetime(9)
• stmmac_ptp_register(9) — the one that does the opposite, iykyk 🌈

Fr fr, this is the "clean up your room before you leave" function of the stmmac PTP world. Don't skip it. 🙈

Alright bestie, that's the whole page — short and sweet like a good text back. This was pulled from the Kernel API Manual, from the source at ./drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/..., dated October 2026, and it's literally called stmmac_ptp_unregister(9). Slay, go unregister something responsibly. 💜🎀✨
