Looks good.

Looks like the "linklayer adsl" is missing here.

You should also shape the downstream direction, as an atm/adsl link, or
else you will not be the bottleneck in this direction, and thus cannot
control the delay.  (and yes I do know, that we can be overloaded
downstream by UDP packets, and we depend on TCP to make shaping in this
direction work, but this is the best we can do, when not controlling
the DSLAM).

That sounds weird!  Perhaps the kernel were simply not compiled with
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, or else my detection code is flawed.

The expected output should have been something like:

 ./tc_htb_linklayer01.sh eth2 atm 2430 0; dmesg -c | grep "TC linklayer:"
BW limit on dev eth2 at rate:2430kbit/s and ceil:2430kbit/s
tc qdisc del dev eth2 root
tc qdisc add dev eth2 root handle 1: htb default 50
tc class add dev eth2 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 2430kbit ceil 2430kbit burst 1600 cburst 1600 linklayer atm mpu 0
tc class add dev eth2 parent 1:3 classid 1:50 htb rate 2430kbit ceil 2430kbit prio 5 burst 1600 cburst 1600 linklayer atm mpu 0
tc class add dev eth2 parent 1:3 classid 1:60 htb rate 2430kbit ceil 2430kbit prio 5 burst 1600 cburst 1600 linklayer atm mpu 0
tc qdisc add dev eth2 parent 1:50 handle 4250: fq_codel
