The driver is directed via ConfigFS as we need userspace to handle
stream-reservation (MSRP), discovery and enumeration (IEEE 1722.1) and
whatever other management is needed. This also includes running an
appropriate PTP daemon (TSN favors gPTP).

I suggest using a generic netlink interface to communicate with the
driver to set up and/or configure your drivers.

I think configfs is frowned upon for network drivers.  YMMV.

Agreed.

Ok - thanks!

I will have look at netlink and see if I can wrap my head around it and if 
I can apply it to how to bring the media-devices up once the TSN-link has 
been configured.

Thanks! :)
