Again NAK for upstreaming.

The upstream kernel is made for the newest kernel version and should not
contain any compatibility handling for older kernels.

Yes, generally so.

But the debugfs_remove_recursive() and debugfs_remove() are same function now.
The debugfs_remove_recursive is used here so that we don't need to make kcl patch
for it.

Well making our internal kcl simpler is not a valid justification for upstreaming code.

My educated guess is that either debugfs_remove or debugfs_remove_recursive will go away in the near future, so it can happen that we will revert this again then.

What you could do is double checking with Greg what his preferences regarding debugfs_remove/debugfs_remove_recursive is.

You could then write something like "Replace debugfs_remove with debugfs_remove_recursive to better document what actually happens here. Also makes our internal KCL code simpler to maintain since debugfs_remove might go away in the future.".

Christian.
