Nice catch, will fix it.

Sorry about the confusion.
In short, the point of this commit is making remove() of _driver_ void returned.
For bus-based driver, device removal is implemented as:
1 device_remove() =>
2 bus->remove() =>
3 driver->remove()
1 is void.
For 2, commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make remove callback return void") forces
bus_type::remove be void-returned, which applies for hv_bus(vmbus) too.
So it doesn't make sense for 3(driver->remove) to return non-void, in this case it's hv_driver.
Thanks,
