[PATCH 00/15] memory: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Hello,

this series converts the platform drivers below drivers/memory to make
use of .remove_new. See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove
callback that returns no value") for an extended explanation and the
eventual goal. The TL;DR; is to make it harder for driver authors to
leak resources without noticing.

This is merge window material. All patches are pairwise independent of
each other so they can be applied individually. Still it would be great
to let them go in all together.

Best regards
Uwe

[PATCH 07/15] memory: mtk-smi: 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.

Applied, thanks!

Thanks, applied.
It is however very late in the cycle, so there is a chance this will
miss the merge window. If this happens, I will keep it for the next
cycle (no need for resending).
