kstrtobool() is better to use here.

That test is wrong, you should never need to care about the return value
of a debugfs call.  You can always just use it in your next call (if it
is a dentry *), or just ignore it.

Same here, do not care, as it does not matter.  Actually, you don't even
need to keep the file pointer around, right?

Same here, you don't care if debugfs fails or not, it should never
affect your code flow.

And don't you need to remove the directory when your module/hardware is
removed?  I don't see that happening here as you are not saving root off
anywhere.
