Stop
Stops the device service associated with the specified provider.
Declaration
virtual kern_return_t Stop(IOService *provider);Parameters

The provider associated with the current service. This object is the same one that the system previously passed to your service’s Start method.
Return Value
kIOReturnSuccess on success, or another value if an error occurs. See Error Codes.
Discussion
Before terminating the object in provider, the system calls this method to stop the service associated with that object. Use your implementation of this method to stop all activity and put your driver in a quiescent state. Call super at the end of your implementation. After you call super, it is a programmer error to access the provider object.
