[PATCH v2] hid-wiimote-debug.c: Drop error checking for debugfs_create_file

From: Osama Muhammad
Date: Tue May 30 2023 - 11:43:32 EST


This patch removes the error checking for debugfs_create_file
in hid-wiimote-debug.c.c. This is because the debugfs_create_file()
does not return NULL but an ERR_PTR after an error.
The DebugFS kernel API is developed in a way that the
caller can safely ignore the errors that occur during
the creation of DebugFS nodes.The debugfs Api handles
it gracefully. The check is unnecessary.
