One note since I have done recent review and realize one issue with debugfs.

If this fails with NULL...

...and any of these is not, we will end up with the file in a root folder of debugfs...

...and this one won't remove it.

However, I haven't checked if it's pure theoretical issue with the current code
base of debugfs or a potential problem. Easy fix is to check an error code and
skip the files creation. Not sure if driver will be useful in that case.
