This looks quite useful.

May I ask how the build test robot came up with this idea?

Please make this proper kerneldoc, i.e:

 * func() - short description
 * @s:
 * @data:
 * 
 * Long description
 * 
 * Return: foo on bar

Don't PTR_ERR() before IS_ERR().

I don't think you need this, given that debugfs_create_file() will fail
gracefully when passed and IS_ERR()

Afaict debugfs_create_() won't fail without printing a message already.
