If you really wanted to do this, you would also have to replace debugfs_create_file with debugfs_create_file_unsafe.

However, this is not a good idea. The rationale in the .cocci file is that "DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE + debugfs_create_file() imposes some significant overhead", but this should not really be relevant for a debugfs file.

Such a patch would only make sense if there was a version of debugfs_create_file_unsafe() with a less-terrible name (e.g. debugfs_create_simple_attr?), which could _only_ be used with fops created by DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE. Without such a type-safe trick, the .cocci file is only adding confusion to perfectly fine code.
