Returning an error value in an i2c remove callback results in a generic
error message being emitted by the i2c core, but otherwise it doesn't
make a difference. The device goes away anyhow and the devm cleanups are
called.

So instead of triggering the generic i2c error message, emit a more
helpful message if a problem occurs and return 0 to suppress the generic
message.

This patch is a preparation for making i2c remove callbacks return void.

I want to tackle this (i.e.

) directly after the next merge window. That is (depending on Linus's
counting capabilities) after v5.20-rc1. So I ask you to either take this
led patch before (my preferred option), or accept that I send it as part
of a bigger series that eventually contains the above hunk and will
probably be merged via the i2c tree.

Best regards
