mainlining shenanigans
If the teardown callback failed in the gpio driver, it fails to free the
irq (if there is one). The device is removed anyhow. If later on the irq
triggers, all sorts of unpleasant things might happen (e.g. accessing
the struct adp5588_gpio which is already freed in the meantime or starting
i2c bus transfers for an unregistered device). Even before irq support was
added to this driver, exiting early was wrong; back then it failed to
unregister the gpiochip.
Fortunately these callbacks aren't used any more since at least blackfin
was removed in 2018. So just drop them.
Note that they are not removed from struct adp5588_gpio_platform_data
because the keyboard driver adp5588-keys.c also makes use of them.
(I didn't check if the callbacks might have been called twice, maybe there
is another reason hidden to better not call these functions.)
This patch is a preparation for making i2c remove callbacks return void.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
