I still see a return NULL inside debugfs_create_file on master,
but probably you are ahead with some change that I didn't see yet right?

I'm just wondering if it wouldn't be better for now to go with

if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(buf_file))

apparently we also need it on i915_debugfs.c i915_debugfs_register()

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
