If the teardown callback failed in the gpio driver, it fails to free the irq (if there is one). The device is removed anyhow. If later on the irq triggers, all sorts of unpleasant things might happen (e.g. accessing the struct adp5588_gpio which is already freed in the meantime or starting i2c bus transfers for an unregistered device). Even before irq support was added to this driver, exiting early was wrong; back then it failed to unregister the gpiochip. Fortunately these callbacks aren't used any more since at least blackfin was removed in 2018. So just drop them. Note that they are not removed from struct adp5588_gpio_platform_data because the keyboard driver adp5588-keys.c also makes use of them. (I didn't check if the callbacks might have been called twice, maybe there is another reason hidden to better not call these functions.) This patch is a preparation for making i2c remove callbacks return void.
