Kuan-Wei Chiu f674cb0063 interconnect: debugfs: Fix incorrect error handling for NULL path 
[ Upstream commit 6bfe104fd0 ]

The icc_commit_set() function, used by the debugfs interface, checks
the validity of the global cur_path pointer using IS_ERR_OR_NULL().
However, in the specific case where cur_path is NULL, while
IS_ERR_OR_NULL(NULL) correctly evaluates to true, the subsequent call
to PTR_ERR(NULL) returns 0.

This causes the function to return a success code (0) instead of an
error, misleading the user into believing their bandwidth request was
successfully committed when, in fact, no operation was performed.

Fix this by adding an explicit check to return -EINVAL if cur_path is
NULL. This prevents silent failures and ensures that an invalid
operational sequence is immediately and clearly reported as an error.

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 reStructuredText 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.
