debugfs_remove() can take a NULL, so let's check and warn about that.

Perhaps debugfs_remove_recursive should be added too.
Please create a consolidated block of tests for these
checks of:
if (foo)
something_with(foo)
and add kfree, usb_free_urb and your debugfs_remove (and
debugfs_remove_recursive?) to that block so that the
"if ($prevline..." test is done only once per patch line.
