if you're just printing hit and miss count, wouldn't it be a bit more
human-friendly to print it in decimal rather than hex ? no strong
feelings against either way, just thought I'd mention it.

sure.

fair enough.

I looked over that, but I'm not sure you should introduce that
smmu_debugfs_info structure. Look at what we do on
drivers/usb/dwc3/debugfs.c, we don't add any extra structures for
debugfs, we use what the driver already has (struct dwc3-only,
currently).

If we were to add debgufs support for each USB endpoint, I would pass
struct dwc3_ep as data for the files. See that I would still be able to
access struct dwc3, should I need it, because struct dwc3_ep knows which
struct dwc3 it belongs to.

That's what I meant when I suggested adding more structures, not
something for debugfs-only, but something for the whole driver to use.
Just re-design the driver a little bit and you won't need to allocate
memory when creating debugfs directories, because the data you need is
already available.
