Note, the soc-pcm "state" file has now moved to a subdirectory, as it is only a good idea to save the dentries for debugfs directories, not individual files, as the individual file debugfs functions are changing to not return a dentry.
It'd be better to split this out into a separate change for ease of review.
- d = debugfs_create_file(w->name, 0444,
dapm->debugfs_dapm, w,&dapm_widget_power_fops);- if (!d)
dev_warn(w->dapm->dev,"ASoC: Failed to create %s debugfs file\n",w->name);
- debugfs_create_file(w->name, 0444, dapm->debugfs_dapm, w,
&dapm_widget_power_fops);
The majority of this is removing error prints rather than code that actively does something different. If this was like kmalloc() where the API is itself reported errors then this wouldn't be an issue but unless I'm missing something debugfs fails silently so this means that if something goes wrong it's going to be harder for the user to figure out where the debugfs files they wanted to check went to. I'm guessing you don't want to add error prints in debugfs itself so I'd rather they stayed here.
Yes, the error check is looking for NULL not an error pointer - it was correct when written but I see that the debugfs API changed earlier this year to return error pointers so we ought to fix that up.
