Merge series from Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>: This series converts the atmel-quadspi driver to use the .remove_new() callback that doesn't return an int but void. The motivation is to not give driver authors a reason to (wrongly) believe that returning an error code was sensible error handling. In fact the spi core only emits a warning message in this case and otherwise continues as if the return value was zero. This usually yields resource leaks that sometimes can lead to exceptions later on. The atmel-quadspi driver is one of these drivers that got error handling wrong, this is fixed here and in the last patch the driver is converted to .remove_new() with the eventual goal to change .remove() to return void once all drivers are converted this way.
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
