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. Regards, Leo
