I personally don't think that debugfs files should be documented
anywhere, unless it makes sense from a "help debug the kernel" point of
view. And yes, you are right, we don't want to document things in /ABI/
that are not ABI stuff, as debugfs files can, and do, change at random
times.

Putting the info in the subsystem specific documents makes sense.
