π NAME π
zynq_cpu_die β the little function that lets a CPU core literally die π (in the chillest, most on-purpose way possible)
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void zynq_cpu_die (unsigned int cpu );
that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap. π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦

π DESCRIPTION π
so here's the vibe: this is platform-specific code to shutdown a CPU. that's the whole job. it's the Zynq-flavoured way of telling a core "okay babe, you can go now" π
β οΈ important detail, don't skip this: it's called with IRQs disabled on the dying CPU. like, interrupts are already off and you're running on the core that's about to die. main character energy but make it final πβ¨
