Subject: [PATCH 0/6] Make remove() of any bus based driver void returned

For bus-based driver, device removal is implemented as:
device_remove() => bus->remove() => driver->remove()

Driver core needs no feedback from bus driver about the result of
remove callback. In which case, commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make
remove callback return void") forces bus_type::remove be void-returned.

Now we have the situation that both 1st & 2nd part of calling chain
are void returned, so it does not make much sense for the last one
(driver->remove) to return non-void to its caller.

So the basic idea behind this patchset is making remove() callback of
any bus-based driver to be void returned.

This patchset includes changes for drivers below:
1. hyperv
2. macio
3. apr
4. xen
5. ac87
6. soundbus

Q: Why not platform drivers?
A: Too many of them.(maybe 4K+)

Dawei Li (6):
  hyperv: Make remove callback of hyperv driver void returned
  macio: Make remove callback of macio driver void returned
  apr: make remove callback of apr driver void returned
  xen: make remove callback of xen driver void returned
  ac97: make remove callback of ac97 driver void returned
  soundbus: make remove callback of soundbus driver void returned
