Hello,
this series converts all platform drivers below drivers/mtd 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 resource leaks and/or use-after-free bugs.
All drivers touched here returned zero unconditionally in their remove
callback, so they could all be converted trivially to .remove_new().
See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove callback that
returns no value") for an extended explanation and the eventual goal.
As an added bonus the series starts with a minor fix and a
simplification of the txx9ndfmc driver.
The only interdependencies in this series is between the three txx9ndfmc
patches. As there are still quite a few drivers to convert, I'm happy
about every patch that makes it in. So even if there is a merge conflict
with one patch until you apply (or a different concern that doesn't
apply to all patches), please apply the remainder of this series anyhow.
I'll come back to the part that you (maybe) skipped at a later point.
Best regards
Uwe
