That's correct, all the dp_debug debugfs files end up in both minors.

The problem is that dp->debug points to the dp_debug struct for one of
them, which afaict doesn't have any really bad effects today - unless
you try to clean up the dp_debug state, but that will clear out the
entire dri/<minor_y>...

I was expecting that perhaps some of this information was
minor-specific, but if that isn't the case it sounds reasonable that we
should push this one step up.
