Why do you use a static variable for that? This should be dynamically
allocated otherwise if you ever have more than one device you'll have
strange results.

I am not sure about the _full suffix, bug debufs_create_file() is enough
here, provided that you give a tangible variable to expose.

You need to call debugfs_remove_recursive() in the removal path.
