parport_remove_port(9)
NAME
parport_remove_port - deregister a parallel port
SYNOPSIS
void parport_remove_port(struct parport * port);
ARGUMENTS
- port
- parallel port to deregister
DESCRIPTION
When a parallel port driver is forcibly unloaded, or a parallel port
becomes inaccessible, the port driver must call this function in order
to deal with device drivers that still want to use it.
The parport structure associated with the port has its operations
structure replaced with one containing īnullī operations that return
errors or just donīt do anything.
Any drivers that have registered themselves using
parport_register_driver are notified that the port is no longer
accessible by having their detach routines called with port as the
parameter.
