[PATCH 3.16 43/99] net/mlx5: Continue driver initialization despite debugfs failure

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Tue Apr 02 2019 - 09:47:01 EST


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.
