I hope you are right - question is always in number of available options
and which one to select - and, most important, explain it to the end user :( 


For example:
phc_index is returned as part of .get_ts_info() = cpsw_get_ts_info(),
so which intf should return phc_index?

Still not tested, so jut hope ...
