Hello,

this series converts the platform drivers below drivers/net that are not
covered in the two other series converting drivers/net/ethernet and
drivers/net/wireless. I put them all in a single series even though they
are not maintained together. I thought that to be better than sending
them out individually, I hope you agree.

See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove callback that
returns no value") for an extended explanation and the eventual goal.
The TL;DR; is to make it harder for driver authors to leak resources
without noticing.

The first patch is a fix, but I don't think it's worth to add that to
stable, it was broken since v5.7-rc1 and nobody seems to have hit the
problem.

Best regards
Uwe
