The first patch was already posted earlier:

Message-ID:<1413043315-22332-1-git-send-email-arend@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This series include changes in driver code to investigate potential
code savings. As example used the ath9k driver as it has a fair
amount of debugfs files. In this series it changes 7 debugfs entries
to use seq_file and the helper function. Below the output of the
size utility:

    text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  115968	   1225	     28	 117221	  1c9e5	original/ath9k.o
  113224	   1225	     28	 114477	  1bf2d	seq_file/ath9k.o
  111024	   1225	     28	 112277	  1b695	helper/ath9k.o

This series is for 3.19 kernel and applies to the driver-core-next
branch of the driver-core repository. If needed the ath9k patches
may be dropped for now and I will resubmit them to wireless-next
once the debugfs patch has made it into linux-next.

Arend van Spriel (3):
   debugfs: add helper function to create device related seq_file
   ath: use seq_file api for ath9k debugfs files
   ath: ath9k: use debugfs_create_devm_seqfile() helper for seq_file
     entries

Greg,

If you are happy with the debugfs change then feel free to merge the
wireless patches along with it.

Ok, will do, can I get your Ack for them?

I saw a patch from Dan Carpenter on one of the functions I converted so if John has taken that one [1] it may give merge conflict in linux-next.

Regards,
Arend
