You are making rtw_edcca_enabled per driver, should it instead be per
device? If something is changed via debugfs the assumption is that the
value is per device.

For example, let's say you have two rtw88 devices attached on the same
system, device A and B. If a user changes edcca via debugfs on device A
it will also change the state in device B. Is that the desired
functionality? If yes, I think you should add a comment to
rtw_edcca_enabled explaining that.
