DESCRIPTION

This function creates a file in debugfs with the given name that exports array as data. If the mode variable is so set it can be read from. Writing is not supported. Seek within the file is also not supported. Once array is created its size can not be changed.
The function returns a pointer to dentry on success. If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value - ENODEV will be returned.
