3.16.65-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 199fa087dc6b503baad06712716fac645a983e8a upstream.
The failure to create debugfs entry is unpleasant event, but not enough
to abort drier initialization. Align the mlx5_core code to debugfs design
and continue execution whenever debugfs_create_dir() successes or not.
Fixes: e126ba97dba9 ("mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters")
