This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: typec: tcpci: Don't skip cleanup in .remove() on error
to my usb git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Returning an error value in an i2c remove callback results in an error
message being emitted by the i2c core, but otherwise it doesn't make a
difference. The device goes away anyhow and the devm cleanups are
called.
In this case the remove callback even returns early without stopping the
tcpm worker thread and various timers. A work scheduled on the work
queue, or a firing timer after tcpci_remove() returned probably results
in a use-after-free situation because the regmap and driver data were
freed. So better make sure that tcpci_unregister_port() is called even
if disabling the irq failed.
Also emit a more specific error message instead of the i2c core's
"remove failed (EIO), will be ignored" and return 0 to suppress the
core's warning.
This patch is (also) a preparation for making i2c remove callbacks
return void.
