From 5f2a71fcb7995633b335a1e380ac63a968e61320 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2006 09:32:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] pcmcia: add pcmcia_disable_device pcmcia_disable_device(struct pcmcia_device *p_dev) performs the necessary cleanups upon device or driver removal: it calls the appropriate pcmcia_release_* functions, and can replace (most) of the current drivers' _release() functions.
