Well, there are two callbacks of this in dwmac4 and dwxgmac2. Both of
them still have the code for handling the overflow interrupt (and then
returning != 0). However, as of commit 8a7cb245cf28 the interrupt
shouldn't fire. So yes, it could be changed to void along with some
code removal. But, maybe i'm missing something.

Thanks,
Kurt
