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.
