Currently debugfs doesn't report any errors other than via the return codes (at least in the common creation stuff) so it's up to the callers to do that.
So this should be changed to follow a la sysfs creation error, IMO. At least, the name conflicts etc should be reported more obviously.
Indeed, that'd mitigate the problems with just making everything silently fail a lot - so long as we say there's a problem people are a lot less likely to be mislead if anything goes wrong.
