There's no need to ever check the return value of a debugfs_ function,
there's nothing you can do here, just keep calling it :)

And you will not get an error, you will only get NULL if there is an
error, as the only error you would get is if debugfs was not enabled.

Same here.  Just keep going, you don't care about the return value, but
you can use it safely no matter what.


Same for other places in this patch as well.
