[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.
