From e5e1c209788138f33ca6558bf9f572f6904f486d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Uwe Kleine-König Date: Sun, 7 Feb 2021 22:15:37 +0100 Subject: driver core: platform: Emit a warning if a remove callback returned non-zero MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The driver core ignores the return value of a bus' remove callback. However a driver returning an error code is a hint that there is a problem, probably a driver author who expects that returning e.g. -EBUSY has any effect. The right thing to do would be to make struct platform_driver::remove() return void. With the immense number of platform drivers this is however a big quest and I hope to prevent at least a few new drivers that return an error code here.
