I'll apply this because it's a definite improvement over what is there
now, but it would be nice to describe these functions a bit more in
detail.  In particular, a name like debugfs_create_devm_seqfile() will
cause at least some developers to think it will clean itself up when the
device goes away, but that does not appear to actually be the case...

I think I'll drop that line, though; that's what the source code
management system is for.  Arguably the line it follows doesn't really
need to be there either...

Thanks,
