Commit Message

  When a user port has a label in device tree, the corresponding
netdevice is "predictably named by the kernel".

Expose that information properly for the benefit of userspace tools
that make decisions based on the name_assign_type attribute,
e.g. a systemd-udev rule with "kernel" in NamePolicy.

Similarly, when we fall back to the eth%d scheme, the proper constant
to use is NET_NAME_ENUM. See also commit e9f656b7a214 ("net: ethernet:
set default assignment identifier to NET_NAME_ENUM"), which in turn
quoted commit 685343fc3ba6 ("net: add name_assign_type netdev
attribute"):

    ... when the kernel has given the interface a name using global
    device enumeration based on order of discovery (ethX, wlanY, etc)
    ... are labelled NET_NAME_ENUM.

v2: switch to NET_NAME_ENUM in the eth%d case (Andrew, Jakub). Update
commit message accordingly.

Per Andrew's comment lets make the change in two steps.
Which one should come first is a judgment call :)

OK. I think I'll actually do it in three steps, with the first being
this patch but with NET_NAME_UNKNOWN kept in both places (i.e. pure
refactoring), and the latter two just changing one assign_type at a
time, so they can be reverted independently.
