"debugfs_create_file(...fops)" has take "fops" as its argument. I
guess that this can deal with the above.
For "set_parent", would it be possible to do that by using
"debugfs_rename()"?
And if there will be a little possibility that sysfs attribute can be
used by userland in the future, keeping sysfs instead of debugfs
doesn't seem not so illegal, does it?
