Greg,

Back in December 2007 Mattias Nissler proposed a patch defining debugfs_create_s32 and friends. In it he reworked the already existent u and x versions. The subject of Mattias's mail was "[PATCH] debugfs: Revamp debugfs_create_{u,x,s}{8,16,32,64} to support signed integers".

As I'm writing a new driver related to thermal management, I'm finding the absence of debugfs_create_s32 to be a stumbling block. I see at least two other folks who have stumbled on the absence of debugfs_create_s32 in the past few years.

Why didn't we merge Mattias's patch? Would you entertain a similar patch today?

Thanks,
Matt Longnecker
