It is the seventh patch series to get rid of void returning functions in ethdev in accordance with deprecation notice [1].
It should be applied on top of [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and [7]. It can be applied separately with simple merge coflicts resolved in documentation. Functions which return void are bad since they do not provide explicit information to the caller if everything is OK or not.
