Subject: [PATCH 6/28] drivers/gpio/twl4030-gpio.c: Drop return value from
 platform_driver remove functions

From: Julia Lawall <julia@...u.dk>

The return value of the remove function of a driver structure, and thus of
a platform_driver structure, is ultimately ignored, and is thus
unnecessary.  This patch removes the return value for the remove function
stored in a platform_driver structure.  The original return value was
either 0 or -EIO.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@r@
struct platform_driver I;
identifier a,f;
position p;
@@
I.remove = \(f@p\|a(f@p)\);

@void_called@
identifier r.f;
position p;

f@p(...);
