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() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

Nit - kernel-doc return documentation needs to be updated.

Good catch, I should add that to my pre-send checks. I fixed it in my
tree, so an eventual v2 will be good. I'll wait a bit before resending.

@Vinod: If you pick up this series, feel free to skip this patch or
fixup with

or apply as is (in which case I will follow up with a separate patch to
fix this).

Follow up patch is easier to handle
