Hello,
this patch series adapts the platform drivers below drivers/video/backlight to
use the .remove_new() callback. Compared to the traditional .remove() callback
.remove_new() returns no value. This is a good thing because the driver core
doesn't (and cannot) cope for errors during remove. The only effect of a
non-zero return value in .remove() is that the driver core emits a warning. The
device is removed anyhow and an early return from .remove() usually yields a
resource leak.
By changing the remove callback to return void driver authors cannot
reasonably assume any more that there is some kind of cleanup later.
All drivers in drivers/video/backlight returned zero unconditionally in their
remove callback, so they could all be converted trivially to .remove_new().
Note that this series depends on commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide
a remove callback that returns no value") which is included in v6.3-rc1.
Best regards
Uwe
