The idea was that debugfs_remove() would only remove the root directory
if nothing else was in it. This was the reason for the preceding
debugfs_remove(chip->dentry) followed by debugfs_remove(). Your patch
changes this behavior. "... this driver seems to only work for one
device per system" is introduced by your patch and was not previously
the case.
