For bus-based driver, device removal is implemented as:
1 device_remove()->
2 bus->remove()->
3 driver->remove()
Driver core needs no inform from callee(bus driver) about the
result of remove callback. In that case, commit fc7a6209d5
("bus: Make remove callback return void") forces bus_type::remove
be void-returned.
Now we have the situation that both 1 & 2 of calling chain are
void-returned, so it does not make much sense for 3(driver->remove)
to return non-void to its caller.
So the basic idea behind this change is making remove() callback of
any bus-based driver to be void-returned.
This change, for itself, is for device drivers based on acpi-bus.

Add a PTP clock driver called ptp_vmw, for guests running on VMware ESXi
hypervisor. The driver attaches to a VMware virtual device called
"precision clock" that provides a mechanism for querying host system time.
Similar to existing virtual PTP clock drivers (e.g. ptp_kvm), ptp_vmw
utilizes the kernel's PTP hardware clock API to implement a clock device
that can be used as a reference in Chrony for synchronizing guest time with
host.
The driver is only applicable to x86 guests running in VMware virtual
machines with precision clock virtual device present. It uses a VMware
specific hypercall mechanism to read time from the device.
