An interesting alternative might actually be to remove *all* the
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS conditional compilation from the file. Since the debugfs
functions have no-op stubs for CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n, the compiler will
optimize the rest away, because they're no longer referenced. (For the
same reason, I don't think this patch has an impact for code size.)

The upside for removing conditional compilation is that you'll actually
do build testing for both CONFIG_DEBUG_FS config values. Assuming most
developers have it enabled, there's not a lot of testing going on for
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n, and you might introduce build failures with the
conditional compilation.

Of course, up to Liviu to decide.


BR,
Jani.
