Returning an error value in a platform driver's remove callback results in
a generic error message being emitted by the driver core, but otherwise it
doesn't make a difference. The device goes away anyhow.

As the driver already emits a better error message than the core, suppress
the generic error message by returning zero unconditionally.

I forgot to add a S-o-b line here. Stephen Rothwell pointed that out for
the applied patch in next.

I don't know how/if Herbert will fix this, but for the Record:
