This short series introduces support for WWAN links  support.

First patch adds support for new common attributes: parent device name
and parent device bus name. The former attribute required to create a
new WWAN link. Finally, the second patch introduces support for a new
'wwan' link type.

Changelong:
  RFC -> v1
    * drop the kernel headers update patch
    * add a parent device bus attribute support
    * shorten the 'parentdev-name' parameter to just 'parentdev'

Sergey Ryazanov (2):
  iplink: add support for parent device
  iplink: support for WWAN devices
