Really, I would rather change the gpiochip_remove return type to void.

What is the point of printing a useless error message in case
of a failure and then continuing as always.
This is not fixing a compiler warning, it is a workaround. And a bad one, 
indeed.

How are we supposed to handle a gpiochip_remove failure correctly
in a pcidev remove handler?
