There's a locking issue in wireless where it takes a lock inside
a debugfs file handler that's also taken around the removal of
the debugfs file, and this causes a deadlock due to the proxy
object use. Fixing the debugfs removal is tricky because some
of the objects represented there fundamentally are deleted with
the lock held. Not taking the lock in the debugfs file is also
not really the right thing to do. Therefore, right now, the only
way to fix this would be to not have the debugfs files entirely,
but that isn't really helpful either.

I have been running the RFC series and haven't noticed problems, so you
can add:
