> 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 ignored (apart from emitting a
> warning) 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. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new()
> will be renamed to .remove().
>
> Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback
> to the void returning variant.
