[PATCH 2/3] ptp: Add clock name to uevent
Posted by Sven Schnelle 1 year, 3 months ago 
To allow users to have stable device names with the help of udev,
add the name to the udev event that is sent when a new PtP clock
is available. The key is called 'PTP_CLOCK_NAME'.

Where are you documenting this new user/kernel api you are adding?

Why is this needed?  Can't you get the name from the sysfs paths, the
symlink should be there already.

You mean the 'clock_name' attribute in sysfs? That would require to
write some script to iterate over all ptp devices and check the name,
or is there a way to match that in udev?

Great, yes, it's right there.

Yes there is.  Please use that :)
