This short series introduces support for WWAN links support. First patch adds support for new common attributes: parent device name and parent device bus name. The former attribute required to create a new WWAN link. Finally, the second patch introduces support for a new 'wwan' link type. Changelong: RFC -> v1 * drop the kernel headers update patch * add a parent device bus attribute support * shorten the 'parentdev-name' parameter to just 'parentdev' Sergey Ryazanov (2): iplink: add support for parent device iplink: support for WWAN devices ip/Makefile | 2 +- ip/ipaddress.c | 14 ++++++++++ ip/iplink.c | 9 ++++-- ip/iplink_wwan.c | 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 94 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 ip/iplink_wwan.c
