This commit introduces a patch which prioritizes the udev
(re)naming rules for mlx5 controlled devices to take the
onboard device name (if it exists) over the slot/path name.
This is consistent with the naming order used by the StarlingX
installer to create the 70-persistent-net.rules file.
It is also consistent with the naming order in the 99-default.link
file.
Without this patch, there could be an inconsistency with the
70-persistent-net.rules first re-naming the device to its
slot/path name, and then being overridden by the Mellanox specific
82-net-setup-link.rules.
Testing:
- Ensure if a system has mlx onboard devices, that the interfaces
are named according to the onboard name. (CentOS)
- Note: Since I have depended on a third party with access to a
(CentOS) system with onboard MLX devices, the Debian portion of
this patch has been confirmed to build successfully, but not
functionally tested.
