Exiting early in remove without releasing all acquired resources yields leaks. Note that e.g. memory allocated with devm_zalloc() is freed after .remove() returns, even if the return code was negative. While blocking_notifier_chain_unregister() won't fail and so the change is somewhat cosmetic, platform driver's .remove callbacks are about to be converted to return void. To prepare that, keep the error message but don't return early.
