Subject: irq: Do not attempt to create subdirectories if /proc/irq/<irq> failed
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c82a43d40b93200a10a9fec0a489791e65e135ca;p=linux-beck.git

irq: Do not attempt to create subdirectories if /proc/irq/<irq> failed

If a parent directory (ie /proc/irq/<irq>) could not be created
we should not attempt to create subdirectories. Otherwise it
would lead that "smp_affinity" and "spurious" entries are may be
registered under /proc root instead of a proper place.
