Subject: [PATCH 5/8] debugfs: remove return value of debugfs_create_x8()
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2019 15:29:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191011132931.1186197-5-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191011132931.1186197-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

No one checks the return value of debugfs_create_x8(), as it's not
needed, so make the return value void, so that no one tries to do so in
the future.
