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().
Returning an error if unregister_restart_handler() failed has no effect
but triggering another error message. So converting this driver to
.remove_new() has no effect but to suppress the duplicated error message.

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.
So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

The only way to reset the BeagleV Starlight v0.9 board[1] properly is to
tell the PMIC to reset itself which will then assert the external reset
lines of the SoC, USB hub and ethernet phy.
This adds a driver to register a reset handler to do just that.
