[PATCH 00/40] soc: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

[PATCH 00/40] soc: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Hello,

this series converts all platform drivers below drivers/soc to use
.remove_new(). The motivation is to get rid of an integer return code
that is (mostly) ignored by the platform driver core and error prone on
the driver side.

See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove callback that
returns no value") for an extended explanation and the eventual goal.

As there is no single maintainer team for drivers/soc, I suggest the
individual maintainers to pick up "their" patches. There are no
interdependencies between the patches, so that should work fine. As
there are still quite a few drivers to convert in other areas than
drivers/soc, I'm happy about every patch that makes it in and there is
no need for further coordination.  So even if there is a merge conflict
with one patch until you apply or a subject prefix is suboptimal, please
don't let you stop by negative feedback for other patches (unless it
applies to "your" patches, too, of course).

Best regards and thanks for considering,
Uwe

[PATCH 14/40] soc/mediatek: mtk-devapc: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

[Uwe Kleine-König]

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 ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) 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. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

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

I'd be happy if Arnd merged the lot at once. Arnd, what do you think?

If that will be too messy then I understand. I have queued the aspeed
ones locally and will push that out if we decide that's the best way
to go.

Thanks for doing this cleanup Uwe.

Cheers,

Joel

The main downside of merging it all at once through the soc tree
is that there may be patches that conflict with other work going on
in individual drivers.

What I'd suggest doing here is:

- have platform maintainers pick up patches for their drivers
  if that is their preference for any reason

- get a pull request from Uwe for the soc tree for anything that has
  not been picked up in one or two weeks from now

I'd prefer this for the qcom drivers at least, please let me know if you
would like me to proceed.

I can send a pull request as Arnd suggested. So iff you want the qcom
drivers not be a part of that PR, just make sure they appear in next
during the next week. :-)

(I'm not sure if "this" in your last quoted sentence is "platform
maintainers pick up" or "merging it all at once through the soc tree". I
think you mean the former. Still if you don't want me to pick up the
qcom patches and won't manage to make them appear in next via your tree,
I ask you to tell me explicitly to skip these in my PR.)

Best regards and thanks,
Uwe

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent up the chain during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a relevant bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Hello Arnd,

  soc/pxa: ssp: Convert to platform remove callback returning void (2023-10-14 23:27:34 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Convert drivers/soc to struct platform_driver::remove_new()

This PR contains the patches I sent in the series available at
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230925095532.1984344-1-u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de
that were not yet picked up in next as of next-20231013.

It converts all drivers below drivers/soc to let their remove callback
return void. See commit 5c5a7680e67b ("platform: Provide a remove
callback that returns no value") for the rationale.

Here comes the promised PR. The qcom patches are among the set of
patches dropped here as they are already in next.

To state the obvious: This is merge window material and the idea is that
it's pulled into armsoc and then included in the armsoc v6.7-rc1 PR to
Linus Torvalds. I hope it's not too late for that already.

Best regards and thanks
Uwe
