[PATCH v3 09/10] liveupdate: Make unregister functions return void
From: Pasha Tatashin
Date: Thu Mar 26 2026 - 23:38:58 EST
Change liveupdate_unregister_file_handler and liveupdate_unregister_flb
to return void instead of an error code. This follows the design
principle that unregistration during module unload should not fail,
as the unload cannot be stopped at that point.
