Subject: [NET]: unregister_netdevice as void
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=22f8cde5bc336fd19603bb8c4572b33d14f14f87;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[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.
