Currently, the common ath9k_common module needs to have a
dependency on RELAY and DEBUG_FS in order to built. This
is usually not a problem. But for RAM and FLASH starved
AR71XX devices, every little bit counts.
This patch adds a new symbol CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON_DEBUG
which makes it possible to drop the RELAY and DEBUG_FS
dependency there and move it to ATH_(HTC)_DEBUGFS.
Note: The shared FFT/spectral code (which is the only user
of the relayfs in ath9k*) needs DEBUG_FS to export the relayfs
interface to dump the data to userspace. So it makes no sense
to have the functions compiled in, if DEBUG_FS is not there.

Here are some numbers for my WD Range Extender (AR7370 with a AR9300):
For both configurations MAC80211_DEBUGFS and ATH_DEBUG is disabled.
(if they are enabled, there should be no change). All sizes are in
bytes. And I only test with or without the patch applied.
module | file size | .text size |
ath9k_common.ko (w/o) | 32208 | 12832 |
ath9k_common.ko (with) | 12204 | 3456 |
Note: The kernel with the patch, doesn't need RELAY support anymore.
Therefore it shrinks a bit as well.
| lzma uimage size | .text size |
kernel (w/o) | 1181777 | 3004592 |
kernel (with) | 1179666 | 2999448 |
If anyone wants to play with it, I made a test-patch For LEDE [0].
Just remember to disable CONFIG_PACKAGE_MAC80211_DEBUGFS and
CONFIG_PACKAGE_ATH_DEBUG.
There are more ways to do this. Let's hear if there's support for
it or not. The main motivation was that relayfs can be very costly
on the RAM as well (on ath10k in can eat like 4MiB with VM
debugging etc...).
