I don't understand this changelog comment, care to make it more
informational?  At least describe the debugfs files you are adding so
that people have a chance to understand what is going on here :)

So your default is going to be Y if the driver is selected?  That's not
good, just leave the default alone please.

You define this in 2 places, but only use it in one, you don't need this
at all, please remove all instances.

This is a _very_ noisy function, dumping a lot of stuff to the kernel
log.  Why?  Why not send it back to the caller of the debugfs file
reader instead?

Multi-line dmesg messages?  Not good, you just lost the logging level
for the multiple lines :(

Again, don't do this at all, just put it in file output instead.  That
way tools/users can actually use it, instead of having to dig through
kernel log messages.

Why warn?  What can a user do about this?  Just return and move on.

Same for these files, who cares if they were not created or not at all?
No need to even check here at all, this whole function can be reduced to just 3 lines:
	debugfs_create_dir(...);
	debugfs_create_file(...);
	debugfs_create_file(...);

There, nice and simple.  Remember, debugfs doesn't matter, and it should
be _really_ easy to use.  Don't make it more complex than it has to be
please.

thanks,
