[PATCH v2 7/8] debugfs: allow access to signed values

[PATCH v2 7/8] debugfs: allow access to signed values

[Stefano Brivio]

Add debugfs_create_s{8,16,32,64}. For these to work properly, we need to
remove a cast in libfs.

Greg,

here comes an implementation of debugfs_create_s{8,16,32,64} which avoids
code duplication, suggested by Johannes Berg. We would need this to be
merged to 2.6.25, as we need those functions to be available for
rc80211-pid, the new mac80211 rate control algorithm.

Re: [PATCH v2 0/8] rate control rework

[Stefano Brivio]

Sorry, people are telling me that this is line wrapped. Which is strange
because claws-mail doesn't show that, will try to fix and resend anyway.
Sorry again for the noise.
