[PATCH] dmaengine: qcom_hidma: remove useless debugfs file removal

From: Sinan Kaya
Date: Thu Oct 06 2016 - 18:21:46 EST


Since 'commit acc29fb8f792 ("debugfs: ->d_parent is never NULL or
negative")', HIDMA object removal is no longer working. This is due to
redundant debugfs remove call in hidma_debug_uninit.

debugfs_remove_recursive(dmadev->debugfs);
debugfs_remove_recursive(dmadev->stats);

The first remove is for the directory. Second remove is for the file under
the directory. The directory remove makes file remove invalid.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
