link_id can be zero and if we have multiple controller instances in a system like Qualcomm debugfs will end-up with duplicate namespace resulting in incorrect debugfs entries.
Using id should give a unique debugfs directory entry and should fix below warning too. "debugfs: Directory 'master-0' with parent 'soundwire' already present!"
Yeah id is guaranteed to be unique so this will work.
Applied, thanks
This patch is a no-op for Intel, but I am not convinced it's the right fix or the definitions are not consistent.
It depends if the intention is to represent full Hierarchy in debugfs, then I agree. Its was consistent even before!
Indeed, we don't currently have a notion of controller in debugfs.
currently we have /sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/master-*
Are you suggesting that we have something like this:
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/xyz-controller/master-<LINK-ID> ??
Yes this is what I was thinking about.
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/xyz-controller/master-<LINK-ID>/xyz-slave/master-<LINK-ID> ??
This would be for a bridge which to the best of my knowledge hasn't been implemented by anyone (clocking and command/control timing issues).
Or may be something much simpler like:
/sys/kernel/debug/soundwire/master-<ID>.<LINK_ID>
the bus->id is an IDA, which is useful for to avoid conflicts, but it's not really meaningful for debugfs. I remember seeing a case where we had links 2 and 4 enabled, and the bus->id were 0 and 1, a completely artificial value that doesn't really help in debugging.
