[systemd-devel] [PATCH] vlan: set sysfs device_type to 'vlan'

[Doug Goldstein]

Sets the sysfs device_type to 'vlan' for udev. This makes it easier for
applications that query network information via udev to identify vlans
instead of using strrchr().

Post-patch output:

E: DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/net/br0.4
E: DEVTYPE=vlan

E: SUBSYSTEM=net

The intent was to match other virtual network types such as bridges.
