[PATCH 07/10] debugfs: Remove misleading comments.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Feb 16 2007 - 18:41:40 EST


From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@xxxxxxxxxx>

Just mention which error will be returned if debugfs is disabled. Callers
should be able to figure out themselves what they need to check.
