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 ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) 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. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().
Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

A spare warning was reported for drivers/counter/ti-ecap-capture.c::
sparse warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>)
>> drivers/counter/ti-ecap-capture.c:380:8: sparse: sparse: symbol 'ecap_cnt_pol_array' was not declared. Should it be static?
vim +/ecap_cnt_pol_array +380 drivers/counter/ti-ecap-capture.c
379
> 380 static DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY(ecap_cnt_pol_array, ecap_cnt_pol_avail, ECAP_NB_CEVT);
381
The first argument to the DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY() macro is a
token serving as the symbol name in the definition of a new
struct counter_array structure. However, this macro actually expands to
two statements::
#define DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY(_name, _enums, _length) \
DEFINE_COUNTER_AVAILABLE(_name##_available, _enums); \
struct counter_array _name = { \
.type = COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_POLARITY, \
.avail = &(_name##_available), \
.length = (_length), \
}
Because of this, the "static" on line 380 only applies to the first
statement. This patch splits out the DEFINE_COUNTER_AVAILABLE() line
and leaves DEFINE_COUNTER_ARRAY_POLARITY() as a simple structure
definition to avoid issues like this.
