A dynamic debugfs looked appropriate. For "development" you can hack the driver, add tracepoints, or use another mechanism anyone hacking the kernel (which by definition someone doing "development" is doing) can do. I do not buy any of your arguments, and you really miss the grand opportunity to export the knobs and values in a way which are going to: 1) Be useful to users 2) Be usable by any similar DSA driver, not just _yours_ So please stop this myopic narrow thinking when you add facilities for development or export values. Think of the big picture and long term, not just your personal perceived immediate needs of today.
