This function is called from iommu_init, and creates the initial DebugFS
directory. Drivers may then call iommu_debugfs_new_driver_dir() to
instantiate a device-specific directory to expose internal data.
It will return a pointer to the new dentry structure created in
/sys/kernel/debug/iommu, or NULL in the event of a failure.

Since the IOMMU driver can not be removed from the running system, there
is no need for an "off" function.

You didn't put a big enough warning here, like I asked last time :(

As I noted a few moments ago, I didn't see these until now. Very annoying, that.

Again, no, never test a return value from a debugfs call. You do not
care, you should do the same exact thing if it is enabled or disabled or
somehow failing. Just keep moving on.

Yes, noted.

Why are you wrapping a debugfs call? Why not just export
iommu_debugfs_dir instead?

It was a choice, as I stated in my other post. It is not a requirement.
If you resolutely reject this approach, that's fine. I'll change it, no worries.
