There's no need to keep this dentry around, you can just remove all the
debugfs files in your directory recursively when you exit.  That will
save you code and logic overall.

I'll leave this for now, you can clean that up in a future patch.

Also, why are these entries moving to debugfs at all?  Why are they
needed?  Who will use them?  Are tools relying on them to be there?

thanks,
