NACK

Channel ID is a device specific detail. Userspace should be basing
decisions on the channel name.

I agree with Jeff, why do you need to know the channel id, if you need
to poll for any device node to get created you can try to open the
device node from user space and wait until the device gets opened.
Are you trying to wait for EDL channels to get started using UCI ?

[carl.yin] In my opinion, mhi chan id is something like 'bInterfaceNumber' of USB device.
A USB device and several USB interfaces, and a mhi devices have 128 mhi chans.
Chan id is a physical attribute of one mhi chan.

Next is the udev info of one mhi chan:
# udevadm info -a /dev/mhi_0000\:03\:00.0_EDL
looking at parent device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/0000:03:00.0/0000:03:00.0_EDL':
KERNELS=="0000:03:00.0_EDL"
SUBSYSTEMS=="mhi"
DRIVERS=="mhi_uci"
ATTRS{serial_number}=="Serial Number: 2644481182"
ATTRS{ul_chan_id}=="34"

If no ul_chan_id, the udev ruler will be ' KERNEL=="*_EDL" '
With ul_chan_id, the udev ruler will be ' ATTRS{ul_chan_id}=="34"'
I think the latter is more better.

I have several usecases where this works just fine today.

> With ul_chan_id, the udev ruler will be ' ATTRS{ul_chan_id}=="34"'

This breaks when there is some new device that has the EDL channel on
some different chan_id, like 7. The above does not. Additionally if
there is a different device that is using chan_id 34 for a different
purpose, say Diag, then your udev rule also breaks.

The name of the channel is the interface to the channel. Not the
chan_id. This holds true within the kernel, and should be the same for
userspace. I still oppose this change.
