You never need to check the return value of a debugfs call, you should
not care about it, nor do anything different in your code. The value
returned can always be passed back into any other debugfs call when
needed.

Same here, you don't care.

You didn't create any files, why recursive?
Anyway, not needed.

Why set this to NULL?

Again you don't care about the state of debugfs. Did you test this on a
system without CONFIG_DEBUGFS enabled?
