To be fair, this is caused by in interaction between your tree and
Greg's ... i.e. the API for debugfs_create_bool() was updated in Greg's
tree while a new use of it was added to your tree.  It can only be
fixed by one of you merging the other's tree (or part of it) or by
someone giving me a merge resolution patch (or just a hint) and me
carrying that (and someone remembering to tell Linus about it.
