[PATCH 2/2] clocksource: Make clocksource register functions void

[PATCH 2/2] clocksource: Make clocksource register functions void

[Yijing Wang]

Currently, clocksource_register() and __clocksource_register_scale()
functions always return 0, it's pointless, make functions void.
And remove the dead code that check the clocksource_register_hz()
return value.

This doesn't make sense - you are still returning a value on a function 
declared void, and the return is now from a function that doesn't return 
anything either ?!?!
Doesn't this throw a compile-time warning??

No, passing on void in functions returning void doesn't cause compiler
warnings.

Doesn't seem right to me (even if there is no warning) but that's 
probably because I used to program in Pascal where functions with no 
return were 'procedures' :)
Whether it needs to be changed or not:

Well, do we really want to change all these files to not take care of a 
return value ? What about is we have to check it again later ?

I would recommend to investigate __clocksource_register_scale and the 
underneath functions if there is not an error to be returned in the call 
stack somewhere which is ignored today.

The same applies for clocksource_register.

Thanks

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.

It depends on the compiler.
Recent gcc allow it.
I don't know if it is actually valid C though.

There is really no point in making it fail. It's so low level that
anything more than a proper printk/BUG/WARN is overkill.
