Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] staging: r8188eu: remove unneeded ret variables

This patchset removes unneeded return variables in ioctl_linux.c,
and also converts functions that always return 0 to return void.

v1 -> v2:

- As suggested by Greg, change functions that always return 0
  and whose return value is not used, to return void instead.
- Not removing return variables in rtw_p2p_get2 and rtw_p2p_set
  as they may need to be used.
  These functions call other functions that do return error codes
  (mostly -1 and -EFAULT) but are not propagated back.
  I'll send a different patch to fix that.
