Subject: [PATCH] spi: topcliff-pch: fix controller deregistration

Make sure to deregister the controller before disabling and releasing underlying resources like interrupts and DMA during driver unbind.

PATCH 1/2 spi: topcliff-pch: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

From: Uwe Kleine-König <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit b082694f18bdff807b42a3bccc62c3a524168f23 ]

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.

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.
