[PATCH 27/28] drivers/hwmon/vt8231.c: Drop return value fromplatform_driver remove functions

From: Julia Lawall
Date: Wed Dec 10 2008 - 11:43:35 EST


From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

The return value of the remove function of a driver structure, and thus of
a platform_driver structure, is ultimately ignored, and is thus
unnecessary. This patch removes the return value for the remove function
stored in a platform_driver structure. For the files in this patch, the
return values are always 0.

A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as
follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)

// <smpl>
@r@
struct platform_driver I;
identifier a,f;
position p;
@@
I.remove = \(f@p\|a(f@p)\);

@void_called@
identifier r.f;
position p;
@@
f@p(...);

@called@
identifier r.f;
position p1 != void_called.p;
@@
f@p1(...)

@localfn@
identifier r.f;

static int f(...) { ... }
