> The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
> many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
> returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored
> and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a
> quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this
> quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns
> void.
> 
> Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
> callback to the void returning variant.
