Thanks for clarifying.

So I've got no particular objection to people adding debugfs
informational attributes for whatever to aid debugging of their drivers.

That said, the same information can too be exposed as a tcm_qla2xxx
struct se_node_acl->acl_group configfs attribute, and for demo-mode
sessions via a tcm_qla2xxx provided dynamic_sessions configfs attribute
handler.

I'd be happy to add expose this under tcm_qla2xxx configfs for v4.6 code
if you'd like, otherwise I'm OK with the patch in queue-next as-is if
you find it useful.
