While there is probably only ever a single instance of such a pcmtst device, it's still bad style to use a static variable to store per device data. Make use of platform_get_drvdata() and platform_set_drvdata() which fixes a data corruption if there should be two or more such devices (or this driver is used as a template for another driver).

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant.

Looks good to me, thanks!
