Hi Johannes,

While reworking brcmfmac I stumbled on debugfs code in cfg80211, which creates the debugfs dir for the wiphy instance. It also creates a couple of entries, ie. rts and fragmentation threshold and retry limits. How useful are these as I suspect it is pretty old cruft and iw can obtain the information as well. Can it be removed.

Regards,
Arend

Hi Arend,

Sorry for the late reply - just returning from Israel now (in fact I'm on the plane, but it has wifi).

No objection from me to removing them!
