If CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y but the chip core is built as a module your
suggested change would try to build the debugfs code into the kernel
linking against symbols defined in the module.

I don't see what relevance of these two points to each other?  You can
check for CONFIG_DEBUG_FS just as easily as for the new Kconfig symbol
you added.  No matter what you do you need ifdefs in the code.
