Using DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE macro with debugfs_create_file_unsafe()

Are you sure this is ok? Do these devices need this additional
"protection"? Do they have the problem that these macros were written
for?
Same for the other patches you just submitted here, I think you need to
somehow "prove" that these changes are necessary, checkpatch isn't able
to determine this all the time.
Hi Greg,
Based on my understanding, the current function debugfs_create_file()
adds an overhead of lifetime managing proxy for such fop structs. This
should be applicable to these set of drivers as well. Hence I think this
change will be useful.
Well since this is only created once per device instance I don't really
care about this little overhead.
But what exactly is debugfs doing or not doing here?
Regards,
Christian.
I will wait for comments from other experts for driver specific
consideration / behavior.
Thanks,
drv
