This is an error getting the value from the hardware? You should not
put that into the debugfs itself, you want the read() call to return
it.
Yes, this error code is returned by regmap read functions in
ppe_pkt_cnt_get() when the hardware counter read fails. I will
remove it from debugfs file and instead log the error to the
console (dev_info).
and return it to user space via the read() call. These functions
normally return the number of bytes put into the buffer. But you can
also return a negative error code which gets passed back to user space
instead.

OK, I will return the negative error code returned by the read() to the
user space, thanks.
