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!

Sorry for missing your previous email.  I will do that.  Thanks.

Either you didn't apply this patch set yet, or your tree isn't in next.
Both variants would be great to be fixed.

I have another change pending for drivers/bus/fsl-mc/fsl-mc-bus.c, would be
great to see these base patches in next first.

I have applied them to the next branch of my tree.  They will be part of the Linux-next soon.

Regards,
Leo
