In the cleanup path of the MSM DP driver the DP driver's debugfs files are destroyed by invoking debugfs_remove_recursive() on debug->root, which during initialization has been set to minor->debugfs_root. To allow cleaning up the DP driver's debugfs files either each dentry needs to be kept track of or the files needs to be put in a subdirectory which can be removed in one go. By choosing to put the debugfs files in a subdirectory, based on the name of the associated connector this also solves the problem that these names would collide as support for multiple DP instances are introduced. One alternative solution to the problem with colliding file names would have been to put keep track of the individual files and put them under the connector's debugfs directory. But while the drm_connector has been allocated, its associated debugfs directory has not been created at the time of initialization of the dp_debug.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
