Just do this: wilc_dir = debugfs_create_dir("wilc_wifi", NULL); if (!wilc_dir)) { pr_err("Error creating debugfs/wilc_wifi/\n"); return; } If debugfs_create_dir() returns an error pointer it means all the other debugfs functions are also just no-op stub functions. Passing an error pointer to them is harmless. regards, dan carpenter
