[PATCH 00/20] pinctrl: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

[PATCH 00/20] pinctrl: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Hello,

after three minor improvements/simplifications this series converts all
platform_drivers below drivers/pinctrl to .remove_new().

See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove callback that
returns no value") for an extended explanation and the eventual goal.

The only interdependencies in this series are the patches that touch a
single driver (that is (1, 13), (2, 12), (3, 20)). 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

[PATCH 01/20] pinctrl: stmfx: Improve error message in .remove()'s error path

[Uwe Kleine-König]

The driver core has no handling for errors returned by the .remove()
callback. The only action on error is a dev_warn() with generic error
message that the returned value is returned.

Replace it by a more specific and useful message. Then returning zero is
the right thing to do, the only effect is to suppress the core's
warning.

This prepares the driver for the conversion to .remove_new().

[PATCH 02/20] pinctrl: single: Drop if block with always false condition

[Uwe Kleine-König]

pcs_remove() is only called after pcs_probe() completed successfully. In
this case platform_set_drvdata() was called with a non-NULL argument and
so platform_get_drvdata() won't return NULL.

Simplify by removing the if block with the always false condition.

[PATCH 07/20] pinctrl: nomadik: abx500: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

[Uwe Kleine-König]

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.
