ACK.

I wonder if this is necessary (I just looked at the code and have no
hardware to test this, sadly). It looks to me as:

- DRM has already debugfs infrastructure, yet those drivers don't use it
- but they should
- the new I2C client debugfs infrastructure is, thus, not needed here
- DRM provides a dentry to the callbacks which drivers can "just use"
- all drivers I looked at just put files there and never clean up
  (because the subsystem does it)

So, from that, I should switch to the debugfs_init() callback and just
use the dentry provided? Or am I missing something?

Happy hacking,
