DEVICE_UNREGISTER(9) Device drivers infrastructure DEVICE_UNREGISTER(9)NAMEdevice_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.
