[PATCH 03/19] can: c_can: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

From: Uwe Kleine-König <hidden>
Date: 2023-05-12 21:27:58
Also in: linux-can
Subsystem: can network drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Marc Kleine-Budde, Vincent Mailhol, Linus Torvalds

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from
emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve
here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first
step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already
returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() is
renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.
