Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 1/2] wifi: wlcore: Convert to platform remove callback returning void
Date: Sun,  4 Oct 2026 13:15:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261004171541.901037-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026100446-quaintly-establish-1f37@gregkh>

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit f00928012886a07ca6817ea70eb4856ce280ce05 ]

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 (mostly) ignored
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.

wlcore_remove() returned zero unconditionally. With that converted to
return void instead, the wl12xx and wl18xx driver can be converted to
.remove_new trivially.
