Hi Daniel, thanks for your comment, all functions type under __clocksource_register_scale() are void.
This just is trivial cleanup patch, I don't know whether we will check these function return value again later.
If there is some possibility to check it again, I agree to keep them. Of course, this is all determined by Thomas.

Thanks!
Yijing.
