Agreed, and I don't like your explanation.

Even if you are using firmware managed DCB, the lldp tool should be
usable for querying.

People need to stop putting so much crap into debugfs, it's a serious
pet peeve of mine.

Every piece of driver unique interface crap you put into debugfs is a
_HARDSHIP_ for the user.  Because they have to learn a unique way to
do X in every driver that tries to export the same kind of
functionality.
