dent =seems to fix this compilation error.The patch is listed here: https://linuxlists.cc/l/1/linux-kernel/t/3537734/(patch)_debugfs:_remove_return_value_of_debugfs_create_u32()#post3537734 - but isn't reflected in the kernel docs (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/debugfs.txt).
This may break older kernel versions, I don't have older devices to test on sorry.
