+/**
+ * debugfs_create_blob - create a file in the debugfs filesystem that is
+ * used to read and write a binary blob.
+ *
+ * @name: a pointer to a string containing the name of the file to create.
+ * @mode: the permission that the file should have
+ * @parent: a pointer to the parent dentry for this file.  This should be a
+ *          directory dentry if set.  If this paramater is NULL, then the
+ *          file will be created in the root of the debugfs filesystem.
+ * @blob: a pointer to a struct debugfs_blob_wrapper which contains a pointer
+ *        to the blob data and the size of the data.
+ *
+ * This function creates a file in debugfs with the given name that exports
+ * @blob->data as a binary blob. If the @mode variable is so set it can be
+ * read from. Writing is not supported.
+ *
+ * This function will return a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds.  This
+ * pointer must be passed to the debugfs_remove() function when the file is
+ * to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is unloaded,
+ * you are responsible here.)  If an error occurs, NULL will be returned.
+ *
+ * If debugfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value -ENODEV will be
+ * returned.  It is not wise to check for this value, but rather, check for
+ * NULL or !NULL instead as to eliminate the need for #ifdef in the calling
+ * code.
