From 22f8cde5bc336fd19603bb8c4572b33d14f14f87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 00:09:58 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: unregister_netdevice as void There was no real useful information from the unregister_netdevice() return code, the only error occurred in a situation that was a driver bug. So change it to a void function. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
