When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

Clean up the vchiq_arm code by not caring about the value of debugfs
calls.  This ends up removing a number of lines of code that are not
needed.

I think now that we allow successful probe with this value NULL, module
remove could vchiq_debugfs_deinit() -> vchiq_debugfs_top() -> BUG_ON().
I think the right solution would be to just drop that BUG_ON().  With
that change (and probably just garbage-collecting that function), this
will be enthusiastically:

Much better idea, I just did that and will send out the patch series
now.  The end result is nicer:

thanks for the suggestion.
