It is expected that most callers should _ignore_ the errors
return by debugfs_create_dir() in bond_debug_reregister().

Did you overlook any patch review comments once more anyhow?

	Why should the error be ignored?  It's not a fatal error, in the
sense that the bond itself should be unregistered, but I'm not sure why
an error message that the debugfs registration failed is undesirable.

	Also, the code in question is in bond_create_debugfs(), not
bond_debug_reregister().  The diff below looks a bit odd in that the
context line lists _reregister, but that's not the function being
changed.

	I thought the v1 patch was fine.

Would you like to insist on the possibility to get informed anyhow
about a bonding debugfs directory creation failure?
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.5-rc1/source/drivers/net/bonding/bond_debugfs.c#L87

Is it interesting how improvable change descriptions are presented?

I do also not see the mentioned identifier in an update candidate.

This change approach (from 2023-07-13) looked mostly appropriate.

[PATCH net v1] net:bonding:Fix error checking for debugfs_create_dir
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230713033607.12804-1-machel@vivo.com/

Will the review attention grow for any remaining concerns or ideas?

Markus

Ok, I will amend v1 and resubmit v3.
