The parameter 'phydir' error check is mistake.
It's not actually a parameter.
debugfs_create_file() will return early if 'phydir' is an error pointer,
so the error check is removed.
What about something like:
Subject: wifi: ath5k: remove phydir check from ath5k_debug_init_device()
'phydir' returned from debugfs_create_dir() is checked against NULL. As
the debugfs API returns an error pointer, the returned value can never
be NULL.
So instead, remove the check completely as it is unneeded as per
documentation. (Other debugfs calls are a nop in the error case.)
?
Or something like that, feel free to reword.

v1: use IS_ERR() to error check.
v2: use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to error check.
v3: remove the error check.
v4: fix the patch format.
