From e233640cd3034ae65924316a0d95ccacb86ae4bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Mailhol Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2021 03:05:53 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] can: etas_es58x: es58x_init_netdev: populate net_device::dev_port The field dev_port of struct net_device indicates the port number of a network device [1]. This patch populates this field. This field can be helpful to distinguish between the two network interfaces of a dual channel device (i.e. ES581.4 or ES582.1). Indeed, at the moment, all the network interfaces of a same device share the same static udev attributes c.f. output of: | udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/class/net/canX The dev_port attribute can then be used to write some udev rules to, for example, assign a permanent name to each network interface based on the serial/dev_port pair (which is convenient when you have a test bench with several CAN devices connected simultaneously and wish to keep consistent interface names upon reboot).
