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.

The function mtu3_remove() can only return a non-zero value if
ssusb->dr_mode is neiter USB_DR_MODE_PERIPHERAL nor USB_DR_MODE_HOST nor
USB_DR_MODE_OTG. In this case however the probe callback doesn't succeed
and so the remove callback isn't called at all. So the code branch
resulting in this error path can just be dropped and then mtu3_remove()
be converted to return void trivially.

This patch causes the following build error:

drivers/usb/mtu3/mtu3_plat.c: In function ‘mtu3_remove’:
drivers/usb/mtu3/mtu3_plat.c:460:9: error: enumeration value ‘USB_DR_MODE_UNKNOWN’ not handled in switch [-Werror=switch]
  460 |         switch (ssusb->dr_mode) {
      |         ^~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
