There is no need to check the return value of the debugfs_create_dir()
function, just delete the dead code.

Hi Jing,
most drivers just ignore the return value but here the author wanted to
have the information logged.
Can you instead of removing the message modify the 'if' condition so it
suits the author's intention?
This code was always just wrong.
The history of this is slightly complicated and boring. These days it's
harmless dead code so I guess it's less bad than before.
Hi Dan and Tomas,
Any conclusion about this patch? The student Jing Xu is not sure about
how to revise this patch.
