Many drivers with tty use the tty_stand_install(). But, there is no need to handle the error, since it always returns 0. So, change the return type of tty_standard_install() and tty_port_install() to void type and remove unnecessary exception handling where we use these functions.

You need to update all the callers in the same patch -- the kernel must remain buildable after each patch but you seem to have spread that update among a lot of patches..
