Knowing the bus name is helpful when we want to expose the link topology to userspace, add a helper to return the SFP bus name.I think it's worth mentioning about the use case in this patch as well, something like: "This call will always be made while holding the RTNL which ensures that the SFP driver won't unbind from the device. The returned pointer to the bus name will only be used while RTNL is held."
I'll add that in both the commit log and the documentation for the function. [...]

+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(sfp_get_name);Please move this to just below sfp_bus_del_upstream() since the functions in this file are organised as: - internal functions - upstream callable functions - downstream (sfp driver) callable functions. Note also that the upstream callable functions are all documented with kerneldoc, and sfp_get_name() is clearly a function called from the upstream side.
No problem, I'll move it and a some proper documentation. Thanks for the review, Maxime
