We don't guarantee debugfs API stability across kernel-releases. At
least my experience is that debugfs is highly discouraged to be used
as stable API interface, except for debug-applications. Anyhow, if you
have different rules in ./net/mac80211, feel free to put it there. At
least it's better than having no interface at all.

Thanks
