Subject: net: rtnetlink - make create_link take name_assign_type
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5517750f058e;p=linux-beck.git

net: rtnetlink - make create_link take name_assign_type

This passes down NET_NAME_USER (or NET_NAME_ENUM) to alloc_netdev(),
for any device created over rtnetlink.

v9: restore reverse-christmas-tree order of local variables
