Re: [PATCH net-next v2 2/2] usb: class: cdc-wdm: WWAN framework integration

quoted

But another thought: why couldn't wwan_create_port() take a devname
template like alloc_netdev() does and cdc-wdm can just pass "cdc-
wdm%d"? eg, why do we need to change the name?
Tools that care about
finding WWAN devices should be looking at sysfs attributes/links and
TYPE=XXXX in uevent, not at the device name. Nothing should be looking
at device name really.

Right, passing the legacy cdc-wdm dev-name as a parameter seems to be
a fair solution, making the transition smoother.

Reusing the cdc-wdm name is indeed a good compromise; plus then
reading port type (QMI, MBIM...) via sysfs attributes as you suggested
in your last patch would make it work perfectly fine in userspace.
