ath9k tracing implementation/extension

[Wruck, Felix]

Hi,
for an university project i needed to use the debugging mechanisms provided=
 by the ath9k driver.
However it seems that some options of the debug mask described on  https://=
wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath9k/debug are currently not imp=
lemented, e.g. tracing the ATH_DBG_WMI option.

I implemented some functionality i needed for the project and now want to e=
xtend this and submit it as a patch.

As far as i've seen, the debugging mechanisms used in the ath9k and ath10k =
are quite different.
I'm considering porting the ath10k debugging mechanisms to ath9k.
(a module parameter for the debugging mask and the DEFINE_TRACE_EVENT(), DE=
CLARE_EVENT_CLASS() macros)

I wanted to ask if this is desired, or if you have suggestions, how to exte=
nd the current debugging/tracing functionality?

Best regards,
Felix=
