But doing that way introduce duplication,  you actually write two 
implements for the same function prototype.

One for the real, another one for the dummy.

Typically skilled core framework programmer/writer like it, for multiple 
backend and multiple arch support

Because the functions set need to be implemented is large for those cases.

While we are just a driver implement based the drm core and only one 
single function here,

DEBUG_FS is enabled by default on our Mips and Loongarch. It is not 
suffer from high frequency changes.

In this case , CONFIG_DEBUG_FS just boils down to "true", a nearly 
always enabled decoration.


We do implement debugfs support that way in the before[1], but we pursue 
compact in the afterwards.

We could revise our driver if that is strongly recommended.
