usb_serial_...ster_drivers(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the usb_serial_...ster_drivers(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about usb_serial_deregister_drivers — the function that deregisters drivers for a usb-serial module. cleanup era, no cap 🧹✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the whole signature is giving:

void usb_serial_deregister_drivers (struct usb_serial_driver *const
       serial_drivers[] );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• serial_drivers — a NULL-terminated array of pointers to the drivers you want to deregister. like, the whole lineup, and NULL says “we’re done here” 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does: it deregisters all the drivers in the serial_drivers array, and it also deregisters and frees the struct usb_driver that was created by the call to usb_serial_register_drivers. it’s the undoing bestie — the cleanup pass that says bye to the driver struct too 😭👋 periodt.
