Hmm, would you be more happy with "Make it return no value"? I think
this is less understandable than "Make it return void". Do you have a
constructive suggestion how to formulate.

I don't agree. "I2C" is fine if you mean the protocol. For the framework
names I consider the small letters better, as it matches the directory
name below drivers/ and also matches the function name prefix and what
is usually used for short log prefixes. Ditto for spi.

That is for focus for now. As written in the cover letter the long term
goal is to make struct spi_driver::remove return void, too.
