[PATCH net-next 19/19] mtty: Optionally support mtty alias

[Parav Pandit <parav@mellanox.com>]

Provide a module parameter to set alias length to optionally generate
mdev alias.

Example to request mdev alias.
$ modprobe mtty alias_length=12

Make use of mtty_alias() API when alias_length module parameter is set.
