Since the PWM core uses device links (commit b2c200e3f2 ("pwm: Add
consumer device link")) each consumer driver that requested the PWMs is
already gone. If they called pwm_put() (as they should) the
PWMF_REQUESTED bit is not set. If they failed (which is a bug) the
PWMF_REQUESTED bit might still be set, but the driver that cared is
gone, so nothing bad happens if the PWM chip goes away even if the
PWMF_REQUESTED is still present.
So the check can be dropped.
With this change pwmchip_remove() returns always 0, so lowlevel drivers
don't need to check the return code any more. Once all drivers dropped
this check this function can be changed to return void.

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.
