Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next 18/19] net: mdio: sun4i: Convert to platform remove
callback returning void
Dne ponedeljek, 18. september 2023 ob 21:51:01 CEST je Uwe Kleine-König
napisal(a):
> 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 ignored (apart
> from emitting a warning) 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. Eventually after all drivers
> are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().
>
> Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
> callback to the void returning variant.
