Can that be put into the firmware tree David Woodhouse maintains?

+Controlling the device through sysfs
+
+   sysfs files to control the device behaviour are located in the
+   per-device directories /sys/class/net/wmxX*:
+
+$ cd /sys/class/net/wmx0
+$ ls -1 wimax/* i2400m*
+i2400m_debug
+i2400m_debug_levels
+i2400m_reset_cold
+i2400m_reset_warm
+i2400m_rx_stats
+i2400m_suspend
+i2400m_trace_msg_from_user
+i2400m_tx_stats
+i2400m_usb_debug_levels
+wimax/debug_levels
+wimax/gnl_family_id
+wimax/gnl_version

Are any of those actually needed for normal operation, and cannot be in
debugfs instead?

+RX and TX statistics
+
+   This file provides with statistics about the data reception from the
+   device:
+
+$ cat /sys/class/net/wmx0/i2400m_rx_stats
+45 1 3
+34 3104 48 480
+
+   The numbers reported are
+     * packets/RX-buffer: total, min, max
+     * RX-buffers: total RX buffers received, accumulated RX buffer size
+       in bytes, min size received, max size received
+
+   Thus, to find the average buffer size received, divide accumulated
+   RX-buffer / total RX-buffers.
+
+   To clear the statistics back to 0:

Couldn't statistics be in some more generic wimax file rather than per
driver?
