	The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a comment to that effect: /* * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove(). * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped. */ This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with '.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs to make things line up. I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used spaces to line things up. Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2023-09-09	drm/imx/ipuv3: Convert to platform remove callback returning void	Uwe Kleine-König
	The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is (mostly) ignored and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Trivially convert the ipuv3 imx drivers from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

2022-12-16	drm/imx: move IPUv3 driver into separate subdirectory	Lucas Stach
	The IPUv3 and DCSS driver are two totally separate DRM drivers. Having one of them live in the drivers/gpu/drm/imx toplevel directory and the other one in the dcss/ subdirectory is confusing. Move the IPUv3 driver into its own subdirectory to make the separation more clear.
