Currently when adding devlink port, phys_port_name is automatically generated within devlink port initialization flow. As a result adding devlink port support to driver may result in forced changes of interface names, which breaks already existing network configs. This is an expected behavior but in some scenarios it would not be preferable to provide such limitation for legacy driver not being able to keep 'pre-devlink' interface name. Add flag no_phys_port_name to devlink_port_attrs struct which indicates if devlink should not alter name of interface.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
