Subject: [PATCH] ath11k: Correctly check errors for calls to debugfs_create_dir()
Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2020 14:24:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200927132451.585473-1-alex.dewar90@gmail.com> (raw)

debugfs_create_dir() returns an ERR_PTR in case of error, but never a
null pointer. There are a number of places where error-checking code can
accordingly be simplified.
