The reason is that npcm_i2c_init() returns platform_driver_register() directly without checking its return value, if platform_driver_register() failed, it returns without destroy the newly created debugfs, resulting the debugfs of npcm_i2c can never be created later. npcm_i2c_init() debugfs_create_dir() # create debugfs directory platform_driver_register() driver_register() bus_add_driver() priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened # return without destroy debugfs directory Fix by removing debugfs when platform_driver_register() returns error.
