In case netdevice represents a SyncE port, the user needs to understand the connection between netdevice and associated DPLL pin. There might me multiple netdevices pointing to the same pin, in case of VF/SF implementation. Add a IFLA Netlink attribute to nest the DPLL pin handle, similar to how it is implemented for devlink port. Add a struct dpll_pin pointer to netdev and protect access to it by RTNL. Expose netdev_dpll_pin_set() and netdev_dpll_pin_clear() helpers to the drivers so they can set/clear the DPLL pin relationship to netdev. Note that during the lifetime of struct dpll_pin the pin handle does not change. Therefore it is save to access it lockless. It is drivers responsibility to call netdev_dpll_pin_clear() before dpll_pin_put().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
