Try doing this in smaller chunks.  There's a lot of churn here, and not
all of it is correct.

Try removing these one-function-at-a-time and then when it's all
finished, you can remove the debugfs and function calls as no one is
calling them.

That way it's also easier to review, as-is, this is a tough review.
Would you want to review this at once?

A few odd things that jumped out at me:

Checkpatch should have warned you about the extra blank line here.  Put
all variables one after each other please.

Pass in the real vchiq device pointer, not a struct device.

Don't include the .h file here, it shouldn't be needed if you make this
the same real device type.

Careful now, have you properly handled the reference counting?  I can't
tell so you should do this type of change on it's own to make it obvious
you handle it properly.

That looks really odd.  If you create this, where are you initializing
it?  Did you test this code?
