Just in case, adding "net.ifnames=0" to the kernel command line restores the
old behaviour - but I understand there are various reasons, up to and including
layer 9, to not do that.

interface's capabilities instead, I've made a suggestion in the related
upstream bug.

Understood. I'll see what upstream will do about that, quite frankly,
your patch is rather last resort - and I know we're in a time frame
here.
