.TH "DEVICE_UNREGISTER" "" "06 October 2005" "" ""

.SH NAME
device_unregister \- unregister device from system.
.SH SYNOPSIS
"SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fB
.sp
void device_unregister  (struct device * \fIdev\fB);
\fR
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.TP
\fB\fIdev\fB\fR
device going away.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
We do this in two parts, like we do \fBdevice_register\fR\&. First,
we remove it from all the subsystems with \fBdevice_del\fR, then
we decrement the reference count via \fBput_device\fR\&. If that
is the final reference count, the device will be cleaned up
via \fBdevice_release\fR above. Otherwise, the structure will 
stick around until the final reference to the device is dropped.
