I was taking a look at the debugfs_create_dir() code, and I saw it can
return ERR_PTR(), so ideally we should check for errors with IS_ERR() / PTR_ERR().
Also from the docs:
* <snip> If an error occurs, ERR_PTR(-ERROR) will be
* returned.
*
* If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -%ENODEV will be
* returned.

nit: I would change the name of the commit just to make it clear what it
does.
Example: Remove useless error check from debugfs_create_dir()
Thanks,

Debugfs functions aren't meant to be error checked in the normal case.
There are some drivers which dereference the dentry pointer so those
need to check it but that's not very common and isn't the case here.
I'm really sure this must be documented somewhere but I can't find it
at all. :P But look at commit 057e212eae72 ("media: usb: uvc: no need
to check return value of debugfs_create functions") for example.

right, I just saw the functions in inode.c already checks the parent with
IS_ERR(). the debugfs_create_*() function calls start_creating() which
already checks the parent.
ok, fair enough, I'll ack v2.

right, I just saw the functions in inode.c already checks the parent with
IS_ERR(). the debugfs_create_*() function calls start_creating() which
already checks the parent.
ok, fair enough, I'll ack v2.

The debugfs_create_dir() function never returns NULLs so this code will
never be executed. It's not intended that callers will check for
debugfs errors in the normal case and it's not necessary in this driver,
so we can just delete this code.

Since the debugfs_create_*() functions already check the parent
with IS_ERR(), this looks good to me.
