The load_cpu_fw function has no error return code

this function does not make sense.
As a result, bnx2_init_cpus() will also return only zero
Therefore, it will be safe to change the type of functions
to void and remove checking

True, but you need to tell the reader why you're making the change.
One of the impossible-to-hit error handling paths is missing unwind
or some such?
Path with error handling was deleted in 57579f7629a3 ("bnx2: Use request_firmware()"). This patch is needed to improving readability.
Now checking the value of the return value is misleading when reading the code.
Do I need to add this argument to the patch description?
I also forgot to add mark Reviewed-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx> from the previous iteration
