net: ethernet: ti: cpsw-new: Convert to platform remove callback retu…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…rning 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 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() will be renamed to .remove().

Replace the error path returning a non-zero value by an error message
and a comment that there is more to do. With that this patch results in
no change of behaviour in this driver apart from improving the error
message.
