Wouldn't debugfs_create_file() blow up if dir is NULL for some reason? + debugfs_create_file("stats", S_IRUGO, dir, chan, + &hidma_chan_fops); Note that code ignores the return value of hidma_debug_init(); It was just trying to do clean up on debugfs failure by calling debugfs_remove_recursive(dmadev->debugfs);
