I don't agree. checkpatch complains
WARNING: externs should be avoided in .c files
#71: FILE: drivers/video/mbx/mbxfb.c:882:
+void mbxfb_debugfs_init(struct fb_info *fbi);

And in drivers/video/mbx/mbxdebugfs.c
static void __devinit mbxfb_debugfs_init(struct fb_info *fbi)
static void __devexit mbxfb_debugfs_remove(struct fb_info *fbi)

So even if you want to ignore the checkpatch warning (which I could
understand for just 2 includes even if headers are certainly better)
you'd have to remove the static at the implementation and for
consistency include the __devinit/exit in your prototypes.
