[PATCH v6 1/4] mfd: intel-lpss: Remove redundant DebugFS error check

From: Maria Lisina

Date: Wed Sep 16 2026 - 10:57:06 EST


The DebugFS API is designed to handle errors gracefully.
Any explicit checking on return values is considered an anti-pattern.

This patch removes unnecessary error checking and converts
intel_lpss_debugfs_add() into a void function.
