[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    scsi: snic: debugfs: remove local storage of debugfs files

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree

Subject: scsi: snic: debugfs: remove local storage of debugfs files

There is no need to keep the dentry around for the debugfs trace files,
as we can just look it up when we want to remove it later on.  Simplify
the structure by removing the dentries and relying on debugfs to find
the dentry to remove when we want to.

By doing this change, we remove the last in-kernel user that was storing
the result of debugfs_create_bool(), so that api can be cleaned up.
