It might be even better if the core creates directories for the dma
controllers in dma_async_device_register() and removes the whole
directory in dma_async_device_unregister()

Then drivers can get their per device root via:
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
static inline struct dentry *
dmaengine_get_debugfs_root(struct dma_device *dma_dev) {
	return dma_dev->dbg_dev_root;
}
#else
struct dentry;
static inline struct dentry *
dmaengine_get_debugfs_root(struct dma_device *dma_dev)
{
	return NULL;
}
#endif /* CONFIG_DEBUG_FS */
