Greg Kroah-Hartman 154d4899e4 iwlwifi: mvm: properly check debugfs dentry before using it
debugfs can now report an error code if something went wrong instead of
just NULL.  So if the return value is to be used as a "real" dentry, it
needs to be checked if it is an error before dereferencing it.

This is now happening because of ff9fb72bc0 ("debugfs: return error
values, not NULL").  If multiple iwlwifi devices are in the system, this
can cause problems when the driver attempts to create the main debugfs
directory again.  Later on in the code we fail horribly by trying to
dereference a pointer that is an error value.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
