This would be a difference in the behaviour to a generic assumption
(since this new macro is going to be used by plenty of simple attributes
under debugfs). If you still consider it's inappropriate I would
recommend to propose a fix globally then.

Regarding to change behaviour of the current implementation I think
Darren can tell his opinion. (For me at least pros and cons of new
format quite obvious).

Since we are using pointer to undefined type.
