Nothing is using the\nreturned value but it is ugly to return a potentially freed pointer.\nMaking it void will help with backports because earlier kernels did use\nthe return value. Now the compile will break for kernels where this\npatch is not a complete fix.\n\nCall stack summary:\n\n[use]\nl2cap_bredr_sig_cmd\n  l2cap_connect\n  ┌ mutex_lock(&conn->chan_lock);\n  │ chan = pchan->ops->new_connection(pchan); <- alloc chan\n  │ __l2cap_chan_add(conn, chan);\n  │   l2cap_chan_hold(chan);\n  │   list_add(&chan->list, &conn->chan_l);   ...
