It took me a long time to figure out what this commit message is saying.
It turns out that it is inspired by checkpatch. Forget all that nonsense
about "imperative tense" commit messages. The only thing which matters
for drivers/staging/ is that the commit message is clear what the
problem is and how you are going to fix it.
Checkpatch complains that macros should not have return statements in
them. "WARNING: Macros with flow control statements should be avoided"
So I am removing the board_staging() macro and open coding it.
But in this case the checkpatch warning is a false positive. The issue
that checkpatch is trying to fix is that we don't want return, break, or
goto statements in a macro. Otherwise the code looks like this:
frob();
frob();
frob();
It has three invisible return statements and we don't know what error
codes it is returning.
In this case, the board_staging() driver is implementing whole functions
so there are no hidden gotos.
That said, the board_staging() macro looks pretty rubbish. It breaks
cscope. It's not readable. So I quite like the patch, it just needs a
new commit message. It can be simple:
It's cleaner and less code to delete the board_staging().

I think device_initcall() functions need to return int. I am surprised
this even compiles.

Reverse this if statement.
if (!of_machine_is_compatible("renesas,armadillo800eva"))
return 0;

Same. return int.

Same reverse the if statement.
