  soc/pxa: ssp: Convert to platform remove callback returning void (2023-10-14 23:27:34 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Convert drivers/soc to struct platform_driver::remove_new()

This PR contains the patches I sent in the series available at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230925095532.1984344-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de (local)
that were not yet picked up in next as of next-20231013.

It converts all drivers below drivers/soc to let their remove callback
return void. See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove
callback that returns no value") for the rationale.

this series converts all platform drivers below drivers/soc to use
.remove_new(). The motivation is to get rid of an integer return code
that is (mostly) ignored by the platform driver core and error prone on
the driver side.

See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove callback that
returns no value") for an extended explanation and the eventual goal.

As there is no single maintainer team for drivers/soc, I suggest the
individual maintainers to pick up "their" patches.

I'd be happy if Arnd merged the lot at once. Arnd, what do you think?

If that will be too messy then I understand. I have queued the aspeed
ones locally and will push that out if we decide that's the best way
to go.

The main downside of merging it all at once through the soc tree
is that there may be patches that conflict with other work going on
in individual drivers.

What I'd suggest doing here is:

- have platform maintainers pick up patches for their drivers
  if that is their preference for any reason

I'd prefer this for the qcom drivers at least, please let me know if you
would like me to proceed.

I can send a pull request as Arnd suggested. So iff you want the qcom
drivers not be a part of that PR, just make sure they appear in next
during the next week. :-)

- get a pull request from Uwe for the soc tree for anything that has
 not been picked up in one or two weeks from now

Here comes the promised PR. The qcom patches are among the set of
patches dropped here as they are already in next.

To state the obvious: This is merge window material and the idea is that
it's pulled into armsoc and then included in the armsoc v6.7-rc1 PR to
Linus Torvalds. I hope it's not too late for that already.

Best regards and thanks
Uwe
