> 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 (mostly) ignored 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.
> 
> Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to
> the void returning variant.
