Some of the code in here seems a bit fragile and convoluted.

Why only 512?

malloc fine for array of characters.   The checks on overflow etc cannot be
relevant here.

This complex exit path is a bad idea from maintainability point of view...
Just put the pr_err and spin_unlock in the error path above.

Prefix this function.  Chances of sometime getting a header
that includes debugfs_init feels rather too high!

In theory no code should ever be dependent on debugfs succeeding..
There might be other daemon users so you should just eat the return
code.
