This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

debugfs: introduce a public file_operations accessor

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

Subject: debugfs: introduce a public file_operations accessor

This patch introduces an accessor which can be used by the users of debugfs (drivers, fs, ...) to get the original file_operations struct. It also removes the REAL_FOPS_DEREF macro in file.c and converts the code to use the public version.

Previously, REAL_FOPS_DEREF was only available within the file.c of debugfs. But having a public getter available for debugfs users is important as some drivers (carl9170 and b43) use the pointer of the original file_operations in conjunction with container_of() within their debugfs implementations.
