Yes, I think so. I have one opinion in the above find_debugfs() function.
Default directory is "/sys/kernel/debug/tracing" in ftrace.txt file
as you mentioned.
I will append below code for "***/tracing/" directory name.
int size;
[...]
size = MAX_PATH - strlen(debugfs);
strncat(debugfs, "/tracing/", size);
return debugfs;

It's right. This is just my private style. I will remove "./".

I am not think that you are the most picky about this. I like your advice and
review about my proposal for consensus.

Don't care. Hope it helps. ;-)
I will modify ftrace files from the patch according to your advice.
