Overall, this looks almost sane :)

But I do have some minor comments below on the code after only a quick
review.

I dont understand this "created" need/use. Why is that needed?

Why are you setting this, can't you always just "know" if the misc file
was created so when you clean up from errors you can remove it? Or is
the logic here just too complex?

You aren't checkig that bool flag here, which kind of implies that you
didn't need it above as well.

Why do you care/need to know if it is in use or not?
Why does it matter, that's a userspace decision to make, not the
kernel's.

Is there no need for any type of validation of the command at all?
Previously you were always sending "known good" commands from within the
kernel. THat is suddenly changed here, how good and robust is your
error handling in this function?

You are setting a u32 to "true"? The compiler did not complain?

And again, why is this needed, I don't understand the distinction.

Why care about the "count"?

Never have a WARN_ON() on a path that userspace can generate, otherwise
when you run with panic_on_warn enabled, you just crashed the machine.

If this really is such a horrible error, do a "dev_warn()" and move on.
But again, do not print something if userspace can trigger it all the
time, that's a local DoS.

dev_err()? Same for all of your pr_* calls, use the dev_* calls
instead.

And again, this is something that userspace can easily trigger, do not
spam the logs with this type of message. Make it dev_dbg() instead for
your own debugging use.

No, return the error given to you, don't eat it and make up a new one.

Same comments as above on the WARN_ON(), don't do it. make it
dev_dbg() if you really just want to make sure your code is correct. If
it can happen "in the wild", then you need to refactor the code to
prevent this from ever happening (hint, can it ever happen? I don't
think so but I might be wrong...)
