There's another thread somewhere on the list where these top-level
entries are being discussed (maybe that one is sysfs rather than
debugfs, but the idea is the same).  Having entries in the per-gt
directories and another copy outside the GT hierarchy is just confusing
since the semantics aren't clear.  It would be better if we just clean
up the interface and stop exposing those top-level nodes on any platform
that's still under force_probe protection.

When starting to work on a new platform we have the opportunity to
change API's (even stuff that's ABI) and sunset legacy interfaces that
no longer make sense as long as the platform isn't fully enabled with
force_probe protection lifted.  There's no requirement that userspace
for platform n-1 must work without any changes on platform n.  That's
especially true for debugfs which isn't even considered ABI.

This sounds unnecessary.

And this sounds like it could be harmful on a platform like MTL with
heterogeneous GTs that are responsible for very different things.  And
if some debugfs interfaces return information other than booleans, using
different semantics to combine the information from multiple GTs could
lead to even more confusion and problems.  I think it's much better to
keep things simple, eliminate the ambiguous entries that are outside the
gt directories, and keep things simple.
