Hi Arend,
Since commit 3c47d19ff4dc ("drivers: base: add coredump driver ops")
it is possible to initiate a device coredump from user-space. This
patch adds support for it adding the .coredump() driver callback.
As there is no longer a need to initiate it through debugfs remove
that code.

Based on the discussion I assume this is ok to take to w-d-next. If that's not
the case, please let me know ASAP.
It is up to the mwifiex maintainers to decide, I guess. The ABI
documentation need to be revised and change the callback to void
return type. I am not sure what the best approach is. 1) apply this
and fix return type later, or 2) fix return type and resubmit this.
What is your opinion?
I guess the callback change will go through Greg's tree? Then I suspect
it's easier that you submit the callback change to Greg first and wait
for it to trickle down to wireless-drivers-next (after the next merge
window) and then I can apply the driver patches. Otherwise there might
be a conflict between my and Greg's tree.
That was my assessment, but unfortunately Marcel already applied the btmrvl patch before I could reply. So how do I move from here? Option 1) revert brmrvl and fix callback return type, or 2) apply mwifiex patch and fix callback return type later for both drivers.
I can take the patch back out of bluetooth-next if needed. It is your call.
Thanks, Marcel
Let's go for that. Please revert/remove the patch.
Regards,
Arend
