This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
scsi: snic: debugfs: remove local storage of debugfs files
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-testing 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.)
The patch will be merged to the driver-core-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: scsi: snic: debugfs: remove local storage of debugfs files
There is no need to keep the dentry around for the debugfs trace files,
as we can just look it up when we want to remove it later on. Simplify
the structure by removing the dentries and relying on debugfs to find
the dentry to remove when we want to.
By doing this change, we remove the last in-kernel user that was storing
the result of debugfs_create_bool(), so that api can be cleaned up.
