One point I noticed is the use of debugfs, which you should probably
replace at some point with a stable API, e.g. your own debugfs-like
file system, but there is no hurry to do that now.
debugfs is only being used to expose debugging info (namely the power
state of the remote processor and its trace log messages), which is
mostly useful for developers trying to understand what went wrong.

It seems like debugfs fits quite nicely here (e.g. it's perfectly fine
if this is completely compiled out on production systems), but sure,
we can always revisit this later too.
Ok, I see. In that case I agree that using debugfs is fine, but I would
recommend trying to use fewer macros and just open-coding the file
operations for better readability.

Unfortunately require __packed. It would be better to sort the members
differently so that each member is naturally aligned in order to
avoid the need for padding or __packed attributes
Definitely. __packed is being used just to be on the safe side; we
didn't intend to introduce unnatural alignment intentionally. will be
fixed.
Ok.
