The first patch in this series was originally submitted as a 
standalone patch. Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> 
suggested more changes to be made into a patchset.

suggested by Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@inria.fr>.

This function, and all the functions called in vnt_radio_power_on() returns
a value, why don't you catch it and act accordingly (forward error code
for example) instead of silencing it?

Thanks,
Quentin

[PATCH 2/2] staging: vt6656: change unused int return value to void

[John B. Wyatt IV]

Change unused int function return value to void from previous patch.

Update function documentation to remove mention of return value.

Remove if statement check of the only usage of function in the
kernel. Replace with calling the function.
