+ * debugfs_rename - rename a file/directory in the debugfs filesystem
+ * @old_dir: a pointer to the parent dentry for the renamed object. This
+ *          should be a directory dentry.
+ * @old_dentry: dentry of an object to be renamed.
+ * @new_dir: a pointer to the parent dentry where the object should be
+ *          moved. This should be a directory dentry.
+ * @new_name: a pointer to a string containing the target name.
+ *
+ * This function renames a file/directory in debugfs.  The target must not
+ * exist for rename to succeed.
+ *
+ * This function will return a pointer to old_dentry (which is updated to
+ * reflect renaming) if it succeeds. If an error occurs, %NULL will be
+ * returned.
+ *
+ * If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -%ENODEV will be
+ * returned.
