I was a bit irritated by the "from v6.0-rc1" part and I feared that I
missed a driver in the conversion of the remove callback. But both
commits happen after v6.0-rc1, so everything is fine and as expected.

That looks right. Wolfram created a tag for the conversion that can be
pulled into the input tree at

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux.git i2c/make_remove_callback_void-immutable
