I just noticed, that you already have uA/uV comments above the
#defines. Should be good enough. Just keep it the way it is.

So this is basically for debouncing? I suggest adding a comment:

/* Received attach IRQ followed by detach event, so nothing to do */
dev_dbg(mci->dev, "under going...\n");
goto out;

It's hard to tell without knowing more about the attributes
your are trying to expose. In debugfs we have relaxed ABI rules,
so it's easier to adopt naming e.t.c. later.
