Commit Message

Jinjie Ruan Sept. 1, 2023, 7:52 a.m. UTC
Both debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() return ERR_PTR
and never return NULL.

As Greg suggested, this patch removes the error checking for
debugfs_create_dir in phy-rtk-usb2.c and phy-rtk-usb3.c. This is because
the DebugFS kernel API is developed in a way that the caller can safely
ignore the errors that occur during the creation of DebugFS nodes. The
debugfs APIs have a IS_ERR() judge in start_creating() which can handle it
gracefully. So these checks are unnecessary.

Fixes: 134e6d25f6bd ("phy: realtek: usb: Add driver for the Realtek SoC USB 2.0 PHY")
Fixes: adda6e82a7de ("phy: realtek: usb: Add driver for the Realtek SoC USB 3.0 PHY")

v2:
- Remove the err check instead of using IS_ERR to replace NULL check.
- Update the commit message and title.
