For debugging, yes, but remember that no system functionality should
ever depend on debugfs :)

That's always the default, no need to list it.

Odd indentation, please use tabs everywhere here.

Much nicer code, thanks for the changes.

No need for #ifdefs in .c code if your .h files are correct.

Same here. Put this in a wrapper function somewhere.
