Debugfs interface is optional for the regular modem use. Some distros and users will want to disable this feature for security or kernel size reasons. So add a configuration option that allows to completely disable the debugfs interface of the WWAN devices. A primary considered use case for this option was embedded firmwares. For example, in OpenWrt, you can not completely disable debugfs, as a lot of wireless stuff can only be configured and monitored with the debugfs knobs. At the same time, reducing the size of a kernel and modules is an essential task in the world of embedded software. Disabling the WWAN and IOSM debugfs interfaces allows us to save 50K (x86-64 build) of space for module storage. Not much, but already considerable when you only have 16MB of storage. So it is hard to just disable whole debugfs. Users need some fine grained set of options to control which debugfs interface is important and should be available and which is not. The new configuration symbol is enabled by default and is hidden under the EXPERT option. So a regular user would not be bothered by another one configuration question. While an embedded distro maintainer will be able to a little more reduce the final image size.
