[PATCH] debugfs: remove return value of debugfs_create_atomic_t()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 16 2019 - 09:03:36 EST


No one checks the return value of debugfs_create_atomic_t(), as it's not
needed, so make the return value void, so that no one tries to do so in
the future.

Also, atomic_t values can be placed in debugfs with:

- struct dentry *debugfs_create_atomic_t(const char *name, umode_t mode,
- struct dentry *parent, atomic_t *value)
+ void debugfs_create_atomic_t(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, atomic_t *value)

A read of this file will get atomic_t values, and a write of this file
will set atomic_t values.
