Hi,
this patch series contains two patches. At first we remove the multiple
lowpan interface support. I don't see any use case for that, if somebody
has an use case for it. Please report your use case.
I had to read the commit message to find out that you mean multiple lowpan
interfaces on one wpan interface here. And not multiple lowpan interface on
one machine which I thought first. :)
ok, I will remember that. I should say more detailed information, but
yes it's multiple lowpan interface per wpan interface.
I think the reason why we have it is that some parts of the code is
grabbed from the eth bridge rtnl code. And multiple bridges for one
ethernet interface makes sense.
In our case, we don't have any use case, I see no sense to have multiple
lowpan interface.
The later has for sure enough use cases :)
I don't have a use case for the former (the one you remove here) either.
Still we might want to consider this as an RFC here to give folks a moment
to speak up with they use this.
ok. Keeping this functionaltiy makes things much complicated to deal
with it and I don't know that somebody use this functionaltiy which
makes for me no sense. I thought already 2 years long about to remove
this functionaltiy. :-)
Sure, fair enough. I'm not saying we have to keep it just that we might
one a bit longer than the usual patch-on-list-to-apply cycle to give
people time to speak up.
I don't have a use case for it either right now but maybe we just miss
something.

Stefan Schmidt
