I double-checked how drivers/base/platform.c deals with non-zero
returns at the .remove method:

	static int platform_remove(struct device *_dev)
	{
	        struct platform_driver *drv = to_platform_driver(_dev->driver);
	        struct platform_device *dev = to_platform_device(_dev);
	
	        if (drv->remove) {
	                int ret = drv->remove(dev);
	
	                if (ret)
	                        dev_warn(_dev, "remove callback returned a non-zero value. This will be ignored.\n");
	        }
	        dev_pm_domain_detach(_dev, true);
	
	        return 0;
	}

Basically, it will print a message but will ignore whatever happens
afterwards.

So, if the driver is changed to return an error there, it will leak
resources.
