Well, techincally, with DEBUG_FS=y, yes. (And we have dependency on
it.)
But see include/linux/debugfs.h for DEBUG_FS=n case:
static inline struct dentry *debugfs_create_file(const char *name, umode_t mode,
struct dentry *parent, void *data,
const struct file_operations *fops)
{
return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV);
}
So, I think it is fine to check for IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), although today
it's always NULL for our case, true.
