Don't need to clean up.
in devm_add_action_or_reset(), if failed, will call action: debugfs_remove_devm(),
So, not clean up again.

#define devm_add_action_or_reset(dev, action, data) \
	__devm_add_action_or_reset(dev, action, data, #action)

static inline int __devm_add_action_or_reset(struct device *dev, void (*action)(void *),
					     void *data, const char *name)
{
	int ret;

	ret = __devm_add_action(dev, action, data, name);
	if (ret)
		action(data);

	return ret;
}

But there's a problem with this, I missed return.
I will add return in v6.
