This is the directory structure:

/sys/kernel/debug/QCOM8061:00 # ls
chan0  stats
/sys/kernel/debug/QCOM8061:00 # cd chan0
/sys/kernel/debug/QCOM8061:00/chan0 # ls
stats

This is the QCOM8061:00 directory
debugfs_remove_recursive(dmadev->debugfs);

This is the stats file under the directory
debugfs_remove_recursive(dmadev->stats);

The fact that directory is removed might be leaving the stats in limbo.

Let me test without this line.
