Subject: [PATCH wireless-next 04/28] wifi: mac80211:  Check debugfs creation return values.
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 16:07:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311230730.163348-5-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311230730.163348-1-greearb@candelatech.com>

From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>

Add return error checking for the debugfs directory create
calls.  Assign error pointers to NULL instead of potential error
codes that the create logic may return.

Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>
