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. As tpm_cr50_i2c_remove() emits an error message already and the additional error message by the i2c core doesn't add any useful information, change the return value to zero to suppress this error message. Note that if i2c_clientdata is NULL, there is something really fishy. Assuming no memory corruption happened (then all bets are lost anyhow), tpm_cr50_i2c_remove() is only called after tpm_cr50_i2c_probe() returned successfully. So there was a tpm chip registered before and after tpm_cr50_i2c_remove() its privdata is freed but the associated character device isn't removed. If after that happened userspace accesses the character device it's likely that the freed memory is accessed. For that reason the warning message is made a bit more frightening.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
