> callback returning void
> 
> 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 (mostly) ignored 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.
> 
> Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback
> to the void returning variant.
