As talked about in commit b792e64021 ("drm: no need to check return
value of debugfs_create functions"), in many cases we can get away
with totally skipping checking the errors of debugfs functions. Let's
document that so people don't add new code that needlessly checks
these errors.
Probably this note could be added to a boatload of functions, but
that's a lot of duplication. Let's just add it to the two most
frequent ones and hope people will get the idea.

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.
