Subject: [patch net-next v3 0/3] export device physical port id to userspace

This patchset is based on patch by Narendra_K@...l.com
Once device which can change phys port id during its lifetime adopts this,
NETDEV_CHANGEPHYSPORTID event will be added and driver will call
call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NETDEV_CHANGEPHYSPORTID, dev) to propagate
the change to userspace.

v1->v2: as suggested by Ben, handle -EOPNOTSUPP in rtnl code (wrapped up ndo call)
v2->v3: adjusted patch 1 commit message

Jiri Pirko (3):
  net: add ndo to get id of physical port of the device
  rtnl: export physical port id via RT netlink
  net: export physical port id via sysfs
