[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 <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
