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().

qcom_msm8996_cbf_icc_remove() returned zero unconditionally. After
changing this function to return void instead, the driver can be
converted trivially to use .remove_new().

if "you" == "Uwe Kleine-König": Please take it via your tree. There is
still much to do before the next synchronous step, so there is no urge.
If the patch goes in during the next merge window that's fine, too.

Ack, but this applies to the state before my patch, too, and I think
this should be addressed separately. That's currently not in my focus,
so if someone else wants to address this, you're welcome.

Best regards

@Stephen, should I just pick this in the Qcom tree for 6.7 then?

This patch isn't in next yet. Is it still scheduled to go in for
6.7-rc1?
