Looks OK for the local change.

Globally, having driver->remove and platform_driver->remove return int
instead of void looks wrong.  Particularly when the only use cases are
in drivers/base/ and they all ignore the return code.

Greg and Kay ... shouldn't we simply redefine the return values for the
remove methods in these structures to return void (and thus match the
use case)?
