If i understand correctly, today because of this, we get redundant 
debugfs nodes right?

/sys/kernel/debug/dri/<minor_x>/dp_debug
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/<minor_y>/dp_debug

Both of these will hold the same information as they are for the same DP 
controller right?
In that case, this is true even for the other DPU kms information too.

Why not move this check one level up to dpu_kms_debugfs_init?
