[PATCH net 02/10] can: gs_usb: gs_make_candev(): populate net_device->dev_port

From: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>
Date: 2025-10-14 14:10:34
Also in: linux-can, stable
Subsystem: can network drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Marc Kleine-Budde, Vincent Mailhol, Linus Torvalds

From: Celeste Liu <redacted>

The gs_usb driver supports USB devices with more than 1 CAN channel.
In old kernel before 3.15, it uses net_device->dev_id to distinguish
different channel in userspace, which was done in commit
acff76fa45b4 ("can: gs_usb: gs_make_candev(): set netdev->dev_id").
But since 3.15, the correct way is populating net_device->dev_port.
And according to documentation, if network device support multiple
interface, lack of net_device->dev_port SHALL be treated as a bug.
