xdma_remove(9)

💅 xdma_remove — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk — this one's from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally called xdma_remove. It's the driver remove function, i.e. the "bye babes, we're packing up the platform device" moment ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xdma_remove — Driver remove function 💫

Like, the function that runs when it's time to tear the driver down. No cap.

That's it. That's the whole signature. Returns void — nothing comes back out, ever, periodt 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — Pointer to the platform_device structure. Yep, that's the one single argument, and it's a pointer to a struct platform_device. That's the whole vibe 🫶
