> Subject: [PATCH 57/59] dma: xilinx: xilinx_dma: Convert to platform remove
> callback returning void
>
> 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.
