Its return value is not used by the subsys core and nothing meaningful
can be done with it, even if we want to use it. The subsys device is
anyway getting removed.

I'm assuming sysfs paths covered by it, will remain intact... ? For the
microcode loader case that's this hierarchy here:

$ tree /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/microcode/
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/microcode/
├── processor_flags
└── version
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/microcode/
├── processor_flags
└── version

Yeah, Its not touching the sysfs path at all.
