[PATCH v1] bus:Fix error checking for debugfs_create_dir() in mvebu_mbus_debugfs_init()
Posted by Wang Ming 2 years, 7 months ago
debugfs_create_dir() does not return NULL,but it is
possible to return error pointer. Most incorrect error checks
were fixed,but the one in mvebu_mbus_debugfs_init() was forgotten.

Fix the remaining error check.

No need for this check at all.
