There seems to be a lot of overlap between this,
igt_debugfs_connector_dir(), and igt_debugfs_open(). As far as I can
tell, the latter two functions are completely identical so it's unclear
to me what the advantage of using one over the other is.

If I'm not mistaken igt_debugfs_pipe_dir() could be reduced to:

{
    char buf[128];
    snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "crtc-%d", pipe);
    return igt_debugfs_open(device, buf, mode);
}

and the docblock could just note it's sugar for igt_debugfs_open().
