Is <filename> the full path name or just the basename of the file?
If just the basename, what happens for files that have duplicated
basenames throughout the kernel tree?

That indentation should be more like it is in dev_dbg() above.

Does "cat dynamic_printk/files" do anything useful?

Trailing whitespace (tab).

It looks like the use of "add/remove all" can only be done when
nr_entries == 0 (no filename entries in the hash list).
If that's the case, please document it.
