IMHO, fail of creation of debugfs is not reason enough to fail the
probe - further, this code needs a major revamp to work with device tree.

Yes, fail of debugfs creation should not be enough reason to fail probe. But as
per current implementation of code, on debugfs failure smart reflex node is
getting deleted and probe get failed. This patch not made any changes in
logic of code but only makes proper use of "IS_ERR_OR_NULL".

Thanks for the clarification, it was not obvious from the commit
message. Further, I would rather prefer to see a proper cleanup that
handles error completely, since IS_ERR_OR_NULL is not really
recommended anymore.
