Name

device_unregister — unregister device from system.

Synopsis

void device_unregister (struct device * dev);
 

Arguments

dev

device going away.

Description

We do this in two parts, like we do device_register. First, we remove it from all the subsystems with device_del, then we decrement the reference count via put_device. If that is the final reference count, the device will be cleaned up via device_release above. Otherwise, the structure will stick around until the final reference to the device is dropped.
