I just checked here with
$ make coccicheck M=drivers/gpu/drm/i915/ MODE=context COCCI=./scripts/coccinelle/api/debugfs/debugfs_simple_attr.cocci

The part reported by the this script is the s/SIMPLE/DEBUGFS
but the change to the unsafe option is not.

This commit message is not explaining why the unsafe is the suggested
or who suggested it.

If you remove the unsafe part feel free to resend adding:

Reviewed-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@xxxxxxxxx>
(to both patches, this and the drrs one.

Also, it looks like you could contribute with other 2 patches:
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/pxp/intel_pxp_debugfs.c:64:0-23: WARNING: pxp_terminate_fops should be defined with DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt/debugfs.c:150:0-23: WARNING: vgpu_scan_nonprivbb_fops should be defined with DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE
