Subject: [PATCH 0/5] mips: cleanup debugfs usage

When calling debugfs code, there is no need to ever check the return
value of the call, as no logic should ever change if a call works
properly or not.  Fix up a bunch of x86-specific code to not care about
the results of debugfs.

Greg Kroah-Hartman (5):
  mips: cavium: no need to check return value of debugfs_create
    functions
  mips: ralink: no need to check return value of debugfs_create
    functions
  mips: mm: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions
  mips: math-emu: no need to check return value of debugfs_create
    functions
  mips: kernel: no need to check return value of debugfs_create
    functions
