Like Jiri I'm getting increasingly disappointed how liberally people toss tons of things into debugfs. This seems to be the way driver developers throw their hands into the air when they can't find a quick and easy way to export some piece of information. Please work on the long term usability of the kernel and all networking drivers by finding a bonafide piece of existing infrastructure by which to export things, or build a new one if needed. Thanks.
