[PATCH] mailbox: mailbox-test: Fix debugfs_create_dir error checking
From: Haotian Zhang
Date: Wed Nov 19 2025 - 21:41:03 EST
The debugfs_create_dir() function returns ERR_PTR() on error, not NULL.
The current null-check fails to catch errors.
Use IS_ERR() to correctly check for errors.
Fixes: 8ea4484d0c2b ("mailbox: Add generic mechanism for testing Mailbox Controllers")
