This creates i2c<bus>-<address>/serial_number when the device is instantiated.
That debugfs entry is not removed when the device is removed, only when the
driver is unloaded. This means that de-instantiating the device will leave
stray debugfs directories and files behind until the driver is unloaded.

We had this before, and I understand that you claimed that this doesn't happen.
To get me to believe you, you'll have to provide a log of

- instantiating the driver
- Showing the debufs tree
- de-instantiating the driver
- Showing the debugfs tree

... but even then I'll want to be able to test it myself. Not sure if I
have an eval board, but either case that will take some time. Frankly,
I don't understand why you refuse to remove
i2c<bus>-<address>/serial_number on device removal.
