The code is based on the original implementation of dev_uc_sync that was available for syncing a VLAN to the lower dev. The original reason for coming up for this patch is a driver that is still in the early stages of development. The nearest driver I could find that appeared to have the same limitations as the driver I was working on was the Cisco enic driver. For this reason I chose it as the first driver to make use of this interface publicly. However, I do not have a Cisco enic interface so I have only been able to compile test any changes made to the driver. I tried to keep this change as simple as possible to avoid any issues. Any help with testing would be greatly appreciated. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- c7bfbe51d550346d5838a86046b2ec9b43a5732c
