Sorry about that, I'm new to this; it applied against whatever master I 
had at the time. Here's a v2 against for-3.18/drivers:

Prevent mtip32xx block driver from showing a warning at load time 
("Error creating debugfs parent") when debugfs is not included in
the kernel. If debugfs is included, show the error code. Fixes bug
55831 in the Bugzilla.
