The driver core ignores the return value of this callback because there
is only little it can do when a device disappears.
This is the final bit of a long lasting cleanup quest where several
buses were converted to also return void from their remove callback.
Additionally some resource leaks were fixed that were caused by drivers
returning an error code in the expectation that the driver won't go
away.
With struct bus_type::remove returning void it's prevented that newly
implemented buses return an ignored error code and so don't anticipate
wrong expectations for driver authors.

The Surface Aggregator EC provides varying functionality, depending on
the Surface device. To manage this functionality, we use dedicated
client devices for each subsystem or virtual device of the EC. While
some of these clients are described as standard devices in ACPI and the
corresponding client drivers can be implemented as platform drivers in
the kernel (making use of the controller API already present), many
devices, especially on newer Surface models, cannot be found there.
To simplify management of these devices, we introduce a new bus and
client device type for the Surface Aggregator subsystem. The new device
type takes care of managing the controller reference, essentially
guaranteeing its validity for as long as the client device exists, thus
alleviating the need to manually establish device links for that purpose
in the client driver (as has to be done with the platform devices).
