serial: pmac_zilog: Convert to platform remove callback returning void
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(). Note that pmz_detach() is only called once pmz_attach() was successfully called. In that case platform_set_drvdata() was called and so platform_get_drvdata() won't return NULL. This allows to drop the respective check and so get rid of the only error path in pmz_detach(). After that the driver can be trivially converted from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.
