I'm working on updates to the YNL spec for RTLINK and per
Documentation/process/coding-style I want to avoid any new use
of master / slave.

Recommended replacements include:

    '{primary,main} / {secondary,replica,subordinate}'
    '{initiator,requester} / {target,responder}'
    '{controller,host} / {device,worker,proxy}'

Is there an existing preference for what to use in the context
of e.g. bridge master / slave?

If not, then how about one of:

    primary / secondary
    main / subordinate

Thanks!
