At the moment, the port name is allocated based on the parent device name, port id and the port type. Where the port id specifies nothing but the ports registration order and is only used to make the port name unique. Most likely, to configure a WWAN device, the user will look for a port of a specific type (e.g. AT port or MBIM port, etc.). The current naming scheme can make it difficult to find a port of a specific type. Consider a WWAN device that has 3 ports: AT port, MBIM port, and another one AT port. With the global port index, the port names will be: * wwan0p1at * wwan0p2mbim * wwan0p3at To find the MBIM port, user should know in advance the device ports composition (i.e. the user should know that the MBIM port is the 2nd one) or carefully examine the whole ports list. It is not unusual for USB modems to have a different composition, even if they are build on a same chipset. Moreover, some modems able to change the ports composition based on the user's configuration. All this makes port names fully unpredictable. To make naming more user-friendly, remove the global port id and enumerate ports by its type. E.g.: * wwan0p1at -> wwan0at0 * wwan0p2mbim -> wwan0mbim0 * wwan0p3at -> wwan0at1 With this naming scheme, the first AT port name will always be wwanXat0, the first MBIM port name will always be wwanXmbim0, etc. Signed-off-by: Sergey Ryazanov <ryazanov.s.a@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
