[ Upstream commit 145900cf91c4b32ac05dbc8675a0c7f4a278749d ]
A problem about i2c-npcm7xx create debugfs failed is triggered with the
following log given:
[ 173.827310] debugfs: Directory 'npcm_i2c' with parent '/' already present!
The reason is that npcm_i2c_init() returns platform_driver_register()
directly without checking its return value, if platform_driver_register()
failed, it returns without destroy the newly created debugfs, resulting
the debugfs of npcm_i2c can never be created later.
npcm_i2c_init()
debugfs_create_dir() # create debugfs directory
platform_driver_register()
driver_register()
bus_add_driver()
priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without destroy debugfs directory
Fix by removing debugfs when platform_driver_register() returns error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
