Merge branch 'net-platform-remove-void'



Uwe Kleine-König says:

====================
net: ethernet: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

this series convert nearly all platform drivers below
drivers/net/ethernet to use remove_new. The motivation is to get rid of
an integer return code that is (mostly) ignored by the platform driver
core and error prone on the driver side.

There are 3 drivers I didn't convert (yet):

 drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw.c
 drivers/net/ethernet/ti/cpsw_new.c
 drivers/net/ethernet/ti/am65-cpsw-nuss.c

These are a bit more complicated because they don't always return 0 in
.remove(). Unless someone is quicker than me, I'll address them in
separate patches at a later time.

See commit 5c5a7680 ("platform: Provide a remove callback that
returns no value") for an extended explanation and the eventual goal.

There are no interdependencies between the patches. As there are still
quite a few drivers to convert, I'm happy about every patch that makes
it in. So even if there is a merge conflict with one patch until you
apply, please apply the remainder of this series anyhow.
