TRANSPORT_REMOVE_DEV(9) 				   Device drivers infrastructure				   TRANSPORT_REMOVE_DEV(9)

NAME
       transport_remove_device - remove the visibility of a device

SYNOPSIS
       void transport_remove_device(struct device * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
	   generic device to remove

DESCRIPTION
       This call removes the visibility of the device (to the user from sysfs), but does not destroy it. To eliminate a device entirely you must
       also call transport_destroy_device. If you don't need to do remove and destroy as separate operations, use transport_unregister_device (see
       transport_class.h) which will perform both calls for you.
