If we prefer a driver based solution, the mii_bus object could carry a truncation format, at the risk of creating more variation between drivers in case of truncation. We could also wait until we have another driver requiring a similar solution before promoting this to a wider range. Florian

Conceptually I agree, it would be nice to have a centralized solution to this problem, it probably can occur in multiple places. My reasoning is that solving the problem within a single driver is a much smaller task, especially for sporadic contributors who lack a deep understanding for how all layers interact. Perhaps agreeing on a good solution within this driver can inform a more general solution to be added later. > If we prefer a driver based solution, the mii_bus object could carry a truncation format, at the risk of creating more variation between drivers in case of truncation.

I agree with Florian, FWIW. The choice of how to truncate is a bit arbitrary, if core does it at least it will be consistent.

mv88e6xxx supports multiple mdio buses as children, e.g. to model both internal and external phys. If the child buses mdio ids are truncated, they might collide with each other leading to an obscure error from kobject_add. The maximum length of bus id is currently defined as 61 (MII_BUS_ID_SIZE). Truncation can occur on platforms with long node names and multiple levels before the parent bus on which the dsa switch itself sits, e.g. CN9130 [1]. Compare the return value of snprintf against maximum bus-id length to detect truncation. In that case write an incrementing marker to the end to avoid name collisions. This changes the problematic bus-ids mdio and mdio-external from [1] to [2]. Truncation at the beginning was considered as a workaround, however that is still subject to name collisions in sysfs where only the first characters differ.
