Commit Message

Commit e2a2e56e4082 ("arm64: dump: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions")
changed the return value from 'int' to 'void'.

../drivers/firmware/efi/arm-runtime.c: In function ‘ptdump_init’:
../drivers/firmware/efi/arm-runtime.c:52:9: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
  return ptdump_debugfs_register(&efi_ptdump_info, "efi_page_tables");
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../drivers/firmware/efi/arm-runtime.c:53:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]
 }
 ^

Rework so that function 'ptdump_init' doesn't 'return
ptdump_debug_fs_register(...' since the function can work or not, but
the code logic should never do something different based on this.

Hi Anders,

Thanks for the fix.

Someone else spotted the same bug, and sent a similar fix, and I asked
Will or Catalin to take it through the arm64 for-next tree since this
is where the offending patch lives.

So for either this patch or for the other one
