Subject: drivers/net/ RFC: Remove return; before void function
 end-of-functions close brace

Many functions are declared void but use a return at end-of-function.

void function(void args...)
{
	[perform some calcs]
	...

	return;
}

Removing the unnecessary return; statements would save ~675 lines.
 
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" drivers/net | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }
$ git diff --shortstat drivers/net

Anyone think such patches acceptable/useful?
