In the cleanup path of the MSM DP driver the DP driver's debugfs files
are destroyed by invoking debugfs_remove_recursive() on debug->root,
which during initialization has been set to minor->debugfs_root.

To allow cleaning up the DP driver's debugfs files either each dentry
needs to be kept track of or the files needs to be put in a subdirectory
which can be removed in one go.

By choosing to put the debugfs files in a subdirectory, based on the
name of the associated connector this also solves the problem that these names would collide as support for multiple DP instances are introduced.

One alternative solution to the problem with colliding file names would
have been to put keep track of the individual files and put them under
the connector's debugfs directory. But while the drm_connector has been
allocated, its associated debugfs directory has not been created at the
time of initialization of the dp_debug.

I have been thinking about this problem ever since multi-DP has been posted :) Creating sub-directories seems right but at the moment it looks like IGT which
uses these debugfs nodes doesnt check sub-directories:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/-/blob/master/tools/msm_dp_compliance.c#L215

It looks for the DP debugfs nodes under /sys/kernel/debug/dri/*/

We have to fix IGT too to be able to handle multi-DP cases. I will try to come up
with a proposal to address this.

Till then, can we go with the other solution to keep track of the dentries?

This depends on

reducing the connector from a double pointer.
