OK I can strip down the RTNL EEC state interface to only report 
the state without any extras, like pin. Next step would be to add 
the control over recovered clock also to the netdev subsystem.

The EEC state read is needed for recovered/source clock validation
and that's why I think it belongs to the RTNL part as it gates the QL
for each port.

If you mean just reporting state and have a syncE on/off without any
option for other sources that's fine by me.

Yeah, that is what I also imagined for a generic SyncE interface.

Thanks,
