Subject: Re: [PATCH 07/12] bus: sunxi-rsb: Convert to platform remove callback
 returning void

Dne četrtek, 09. november 2023 ob 21:28:37 CET 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() will be renamed to .remove().
> 
> Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
> callback to the void returning variant.
