[PATCH v3] remoteproc: Fix NULL vs IS_ERR() checking in rproc_create_trace_file

From: Miaoqian Lin
Date: Wed Jan 05 2022 - 08:10:32 EST


The debugfs_create_file() function doesn't return NULL.
It returns error pointers. Fix check in rproc_create_trace_file
and make it returns return error pointers.
Fix check in rproc_handle_trace to propagate the error code.

Changes in v2:
- return PTR_ERR(tfile) in rproc_create_trace_file
- fix check in rproc_handle_trace()
Changes in v3:
- return tfile to fix incorrect return type in v2
