Subject: b43legacy: fix debugfs crash
This patch fixes a crash that happens because b43legacy's
debugfs code expects file->f_op to be a pointer to its own
b43legacy_debugfs_fops struct. This is no longer the case
since commit 9fd4dcece43a
("debugfs: prevent access to possibly dead file_operations at file open")
