Subject: [PATCH net v2 1/4] auxiliary: Support hexadecimal ids
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2025 20:01:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250716000110.2267189-2-sean.anderson@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250716000110.2267189-1-sean.anderson@linux.dev>
Support creating auxiliary devices with the id included as part of the
name. This allows for hexadecimal ids, which may be more appropriate for
auxiliary devices created as children of memory-mapped devices. If an
auxiliary device's id is set to AUXILIARY_DEVID_NONE, the name must
be of the form "name.id".
With this patch, dmesg logs from an auxiliary device might look something
like
[ 4.781268] xilinx_axienet 80200000.ethernet: autodetected 64-bit DMA range
[ 21.889563] xilinx_emac.mac xilinx_emac.mac.80200000 net4: renamed from eth0
[ 32.296965] xilinx_emac.mac xilinx_emac.mac.80200000 net4: PHY [axienet-80200000:05] driver [RTL8211F Gigabit Ethernet] (irq=70)
[ 32.313456] xilinx_emac.mac xilinx_emac.mac.80200000 net4: configuring for inband/sgmii link mode
[ 65.095419] xilinx_emac.mac xilinx_emac.mac.80200000 net4: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control rx/tx
this is especially useful when compared to what might happen if there is
an error before userspace has the chance to assign a name to the netdev:
[ 4.947215] xilinx_emac.mac xilinx_emac.mac.1 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): incorrect link mode for in-band status
