Subject: [PATCH net-next v11 4/7] netconsole: clear dev_name for devices bound by mac
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 11:00:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260118-netcons-retrigger-v11-4-4de36aebcf48@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260118-netcons-retrigger-v11-0-4de36aebcf48@gmail.com>

This patch makes sure netconsole clears dev_name for devices bound by mac
in order to allow calling setup_netpoll on targets that have previously
been cleaned up (in order to support resuming deactivated targets).

This is required as netpoll_setup populates dev_name even when devices are
matched via mac address. The cleanup is done inside netconsole as bound
by mac is a netconsole concept.
