Subject: [PATCH] elx: efct: fix pointer error checking in debugfs init
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2021 16:30:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210618233004.83769-1-jsmart2021@gmail.com> (raw)

debugfs_create_xxx routines, which return pointers, are being checked
for error by looking for NULL values. The routines may return
pointer-munged -Exxx codes, so they should be using IS_ERR() to adapt.

There are two cases:
- the first case is on initial directory creation, which actually
  doesn't need to be checked. So remove the check.
- creation of the sessions subdirectory. Modify this creation to
  create under the initial directory created, and fix failure check.

Fixes: 4df84e846624 ("scsi: elx: efct: Driver initialization routines")
