Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: fix debugfs error handling
Date: Wed, 08 Oct 2008 10:23:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1223454228.3618.36.camel@johannes.berg> (raw)
If something goes wrong creating the debugfs dir or when
debugfs is not compiled in, the current code might lead to
trouble; make it more robust.
