Hello,

many bus remove functions return an integer which is a historic
misdesign that makes driver authors assume that there is some kind of
error handling in the upper layers. This is wrong however and
returning and error code only yields an error message.

This series improves the fsl-mc bus by changing the remove callback to
return no value instead. As a preparation all drivers are changed to
return zero before so that they don't trigger the error message.
Who is supposed to pick up this patch series (or point out a good reason for
not taking it)?
Previously Greg KH picked up MC bus patches.

If no one is picking up them this time, I probably can take it through
the fsl soc tree.
I guess Greg won't pick up this series as he didn't get a copy of it :-)

Browsing through the history of drivers/bus/fsl-mc there is no
consistent maintainer to see. So if you can take it, that's very
appreciated.
My mail was meant encouraging, maybe it was too subtile? I'll try again:

Yes, please apply, that would be wonderful!

:-)

Thanks
Uwe
