The enum cmd valu could stay as a placeholder, the rest can go.

They need it for the initial submission? Why? Why can't they wait 1 week
for follow-up patchset?

There you go, it does not have any label, yet you are trying hard to
make up some. Does not make sense.


>What names would you suggest?

That is the point I made previously. For synce usecase, the label does
not make sense. There should be no label. You reference the pin by ID
from netdev, that is enough.

I think better to add the check to pin-register so future synce pin
users don't have similar weird ideas. Could you please add this check?

Thanks!
