Here NULL is sent to single_open(), in DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE()
inode->i_private is sent into single_open(). I don't see the commit log
mentions or estimates such change.

I doubt this patch applies to Linux v5.8-rc, this is how debug_ops is
defined in Linux v5.8-rc5,

196 static const struct file_operations debug_ops = {
197         .owner          = THIS_MODULE,
198         .open           = debug_seq_open,
199         .read           = seq_read,
200         .release        = single_release
201 };

Do you test your change with upstream kernel ? Or at least you should
try to apply and compile the patch with latest upstream kernel.

Thanks.
