[PATCH v2] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: sysfs interface to auxmac

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Newer Thinkpads have a feature called Mac Address Passthrough.
This patch provides a sysfs interface that userspace can use
to get this auxiliary mac address.

Changes in v2:
- Added documentation
- All handling of the auxmac value is done in the _init function.

+sysfs: auxmac
+
+Some newer Thinkpads have a feature called MAC Address Passthrough. This
+feature is implemented by the system firmware to provide a system unique MAC,
+that can override a dock or USB ethernet dongle MAC, when connected to a
+network. This property enables user-space to easily determine the MAC address
+if the feature is enabled.
+
+The values of this auxiliary MAC are:
+
+        cat /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/auxmac
+
+If the feature is disabled, the value will be 'disabled'.
+
+This property is read-only.
