[PATCH] staging: wilc1000: fix error handling in wilc_debugfs_init()

From: Luis de Bethencourt
Date: Wed Jun 22 2016 - 08:39:33 EST


The common format to check if a function returned an error pointer is to
use PTR_ERR(). Instead of ERR_PTR() which is used to return said errors.

Also, if there was an error returning -EINVAL instead of -1 is more
appropriate.
