Errors from debugfs are intended to be non-fatal, and should not prevent
the driver from probing.

Since debugfs file creation is treated as infallible, move it below the
parts of the probe function that can fail. This prevents an error
elsewhere in the probe function from causing the file to leak. Do the
same for the call to of_platform_populate().

Finally, checkpatch suggests an octal literal for the file permissions.

hmm, of_platform_populate() can actually fail [0] it just looks a bit like
sunxi driver seem to ignore that by {chance, design?} [1] .

So I guess this might want to have handling for probably unlikely
possible errors instead?
Strictly speaking, neither this driver nor the DE2 bus driver depend on any of
the child nodes having a platform device present or a driver attached. So
failing to populate the child devices should not necessarily prevent this driver
from probing. Possibly it deserves a dev_warn(), but...

I don't think of_platform_populate() can actually fail when passed a valid node.
of_platform_bus_create() calls itself recursively, but otherwise always returns 0.
