This does not belong to the Device Tree, there should be plenty of
information in user-space to make an educated device rename. I
definitively understand that some drivers (e.g: dsa) do actually get
their interface name from Device Tree directly (label property), but
this is probably the one and only case where this may be tolerated.
Besides, if you submit such a change, you would want to also provide a
consumer of that API to illustrate how this is used.
