Not to nitpick (ok, to nitpick), but the final declaration is incorrect.
debugfs_create_bool should _not_ take "u32 *value" as an argument;
presumable what was meant was "bool *", no?

C does not have a 'bool' type.

C does not have a 'bool' type.

Actually the latest version (C99) does have such a type, but you have to include <stdbool.h> to make it visible by that name. "bool" is implemented using a new integer type _Bool. _Bool requires special behavior when values are converted to it, so it can't be implemented as a simple typedef of some other integer type.
