        Why should the error be ignored?  It's not a fatal error, in the sense that the bond itself should be unregistered, but I'm not sure why an error message that the debugfs registration failed is undesirable.

        Also, the code in question is in bond_create_debugfs(), not bond_debug_reregister().  The diff below looks a bit odd in that the context line lists _reregister, but that's not the function being changed.

        I thought the v1 patch was fine.
