You have 72 columns, why not use them all please?

You only use this once, why is a #define needed?

You are creating a directory at the root of debugfs with just your
device name?  While that will work, that feels very odd.  Please use a
subdirectory.

There is no need to ever check the return value of a debugfs call.

Nor do you really ever even need to save off the dentry here, just look
it up when you need to remove it.

This really looks like you are using debugfs to control the device, not
just for debugging information.  How are you going to be able to use the
device in a system that has debugfs disabled?
