Yes, and you are right.

So instead of having:

/sys/kernel/debugfs/lvts/lvts at mcu

We will have:

/sys/kernel/debugfs/lvts at mcu

Later, when the other domain is added, we will have:

/sys/kernel/debugfs/lvts at mcu
/sys/kernel/debugfs/lvts at ap

Each instance takes care of removing its own entry

When I'll introduce thermal debugfs, I'll take care of massaging the 
driver to have them like:

/sys/kernel/debugfs/thermal/thermal_zone/0/sensors/lvts at mcu,0
/sys/kernel/debugfs/thermal/thermal_zone/1/sensors/lvts at ap,1
