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. I will wait for comments from other experts for driver specific consideration / behavior.
