From 398dc4ad52022c3d585908544b936bdf73640727 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulf Magnusson Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2015 19:03:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] debugfs: document that debugfs_remove*() accepts NULL and error values According to commit a59d6293e537 ("debugfs: change parameter check in debugfs_remove() functions"), this is meant to make cleanup easier for callers. In that case it ought to be documented.
