This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
usb: typec: tcpci: Don't skip cleanup in .remove() on error
to my usb git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git in the usb-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Returning an error value in an i2c remove callback results in an error message being emitted by the i2c core, but otherwise it doesn't make a difference. The device goes away anyhow and the devm cleanups are called.
In this case the remove callback even returns early without stopping the tcpm worker thread and various timers. A work scheduled on the work queue, or a firing timer after tcpci_remove() returned probably results in a use-after-free situation because the regmap and driver data were freed. So better make sure that tcpci_unregister_port() is called even if disabling the irq failed.
Also emit a more specific error message instead of the i2c core's "remove failed (EIO), will be ignored" and return 0 to suppress the core's warning.
This patch is (also) a preparation for making i2c remove callbacks return void.
