[PATCH 2/2] wireless: Use first phyX name available when registering phy devices.

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Choose first available phyX name when creating phy devices.  This
means that reloading a wifi driver will not cause a change in the
name of it's phy device.

Also, allow users to rename a phy to any un-used name, including
phy%d.
