Hi Gustavo,

Thank you for the patch.

"functions like debugfs_remove_recursive" seems a bit vague to me. I'd prefer 
being more precise here, and say that "debugfs_remove_recursive() accepts a 
NULL parameter and returns immediately, there's no need for a NULL check in 
the caller.".

There's another occurrence in uvc_debugfs_cleanup_stream(). I'll address it as 
well in this patch. With that change and the commit message update,
