No need to care about this, please do not check, code should not do
different things based on if debugfs is working or not.

Same here, why check?

Why do you care? How can this happen?

Again, no need to check.
If you are building the whole functionality of your code on if debugfs
is working or not, that feels really wrong. Debugfs is for random
kernel debug type things, not a whole driver infrastructure that somehow
relies on it working or not.
