/* This is the type of the function that is called to uninitialize the
 * the loaded module.  This may mean, for example, un-registering a device
 * driver. If the module is successfully initialized, its memory will be
 * deallocated.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   arg - An opaque argument that was previously returned by the initializer
 *         function.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   Zero (OK) on success; a negated errno value on any failure to
 *   initialize the module.  If zero is returned, then the module memory
 *   will be deallocated.  If the module is still in use (for example with
 *   open driver instances), the uninitialization function should fail with
 *   -EBUSY
 */

/* A NuttX module is expected to export a function called module_initialize()
 * that has the following function prototype.  This function should appear as
 * the entry point in the ELF module file and will be called bythe binfmt
 * logic after the module has been loaded into kernel memory.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   uninitializer - The pointer to the uninitialization function.  NULL may
 *     be returned if no uninitialization is needed (i.e, the the module
 *     memory can be deallocated at any time).
 *   arg - An argument that will be passed to the uninitialization function.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   Zero (OK) on success; a negated errno value on any failure to
 *   initialize the module.
