- * debugfs_create_str - create a debugfs file that is used to read and write a string value
+ * debugfs_create_str - create a debugfs file that is used to read a string value
  * @name: a pointer to a string containing the name of the file to create.
  * @mode: the permission that the file should have

  *          file will be created in the root of the debugfs filesystem.
