There is no need for "struct dentry *eth_debugfs_dir" which is used for
debug / sysfs directories. Therefore, remove this "struct dentry" and
everything related (i.e., creation and removal).
As a side effect of this change, the code has no more need of the
"cleanup_register_netdev" label, which can also be removed.

As said some days ago, the email address of David Kershner at unisys.com
is not anymore reachable. Each time I submit patches for this Unisys'
driver I get the following message:
Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
David Kershner (david.kershner at unisys.com)
The email address you entered couldn't be found.
Please check the recipient's email address and try to resend the message.
Is it the case to remove his entry from the MAINTAINERS file? I'm asking
because I don't yet know how these kinds of issues are handled.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Fabio M. De Francesco

Yeah. Send a patch to remove David's address.

I've just noticed that visornic and visorhba do other calls to
debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() functions.
I'm not sure whether or not this driver still needs those other calls.
Do you think that they should be removed as well as it has been done
in the patch above?
Thanks,

It looks like those drivers create actual files in debugfs with
information in them, so I would leave them alone.
