[PATCH v3 2/2] regulator: core: Streamline debugfs operations

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Thu May 25 2023 - 07:14:13 EST


If CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is not set:

regulator: Failed to create debugfs directory
...
regulator-dummy: Failed to create debugfs directory

As per the comments for debugfs_create_dir(), errors returned by this
function should be expected, and ignored:

* If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -%ENODEV will be
* returned.
*
* NOTE: it's expected that most callers should _ignore_ the errors returned
* by this function. Other debugfs functions handle the fact that the "dentry"
* passed to them could be an error and they don't crash in that case.
* Drivers should generally work fine even if debugfs fails to init anyway.

Adhere to the debugfs spirit, and streamline all operations by:
1. Demoting the importance of the printed error messages to debug
level, like is already done in create_regulator(),
2. Further ignoring any returned errors, as by design, all debugfs
functions are no-ops when passed an error pointer.

v3:
- Rebase,

v2:
- Spin off error check fix into a separate patch,
- Improve rationale.
