No, you should NEVER care if a debugfs call returned an error or not, no
need to check it at all. Your code path should not change based on the
return value as no code should depened on the functionality of debugfs.
Any error returned by a debugfs call can be passed right back into it
with no problems, so again, no need to check this.

Why do you save these dentries at all anyway? You never do anything
with them, just create the files and away you go, no need to worry about
anything.
Remember, debugfs was created to be very simple to use, don't make it
more complex than it has to be please.
