They do. The three commits below are related:

d32394f ath: ath9k: use debugfs_create_devm_seqfile() helper for
seq_file entrie
631bee2 ath: use seq_file api for ath9k debugfs files
98210b7 debugfs: add helper function to create device related seq_file

The ath patches were made to provide example of using the new helper
function and get some idea about code savings. Greg and John discussed
who would take them. I noticed other ath changes in net-next so I kinda
expected this email ;-)

Arend
