Either nl80211 or debugfs. Maybe debugfs is better because this is more
or less a hack?
It's supposed to be a real interface used to calculate timestamps for
mpeg streams, iirc. So debugfs is no option here.
And how is sysfs any better? If you use sysfs right now I don't see why
debugfs would be any worse. You just need to check from your application
that it's mounted and find the location.
We don't guarantee debugfs API stability across kernel-releases. At
least my experience is that debugfs is highly discouraged to be used
as stable API interface, except for debug-applications. Anyhow, if you
have different rules in ./net/mac80211, feel free to put it there. At
least it's better than having no interface at all.

Thanks
David
