No blank lines in tag blocks.  That breaks a bunch of tooling that 
runs on the kernel + tends to get you a message from one 
of the bots that is there to prevent this getting merged.

It is stubbed out in debugfs.h so no need for guards here.

So for that matter are the creation functions used in here.
Ideally follow this patch with one removing ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
from the driver.  Both calls will return errors but that is
fine as they aren't checked anyway (common for debugfs
as a driver is almost never expected to fail probe just because
debugfs isn't there).  Note removing those guards should (feel
free to check) result in no overhead as they dead code should get
removed.
