So, do module parameters count as user land ABI? [ In any case, for this module, there must be a way to retain the parameters and still offer DT, and letting DT have precedence. ] People want to be able to configure the auxiliary functions on the pins of their PTP devices. My preference for supporting this is: 1. additional ioctl on the PTP character device 2. ethtool ioctl 3. DT and/or ACPI The first option seems best because that is how you activate the auxiliary functions. I am working on something in this direction. Can't we just drop the DT idea altogther? > If you don't like it, be angry at whoever added this module parameter > in the first place, not me.
