pwmchip_remove() returns always 0. Don't use the value to make it
possible to eventually change the function to return void. Also the
driver core ignores the return value of ab8500_pwm_remove()
and considers the device removed anyhow. So returning early results
in a resource leak.

Can you please base your patches on top of linux-next? This patch is
invalid in the presence of
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/thierry.reding/linux-pwm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=14ac9e17f9bd4bd0dfe18e384a3c2ca8dfbffcc8
So this is waste of your (and my) time :-\
Best regards
Uwe
