Ok, then, but that means Rafael is completely wrong ...
debugfs_create_bool() takes a *pointer* and it needs to be long-lived,
it can't be on the stack. You also don't get a call when it changes.

If you cannot change the struct definition then you must implement a
debugfs file with its own read/write handlers.
