I'm a bit bothered by "it's tried hard to get". I could suggest:

"""
the system tries hard to have the same but unique names for the network 
interfaces even after a reinstall.
"""

Whatever works best, not sure it's any better. In any case,

@Alex: A `git log -S pni-names` in poky returns commits that started in 
scarthgap, and all of them are available in scarthgap, therefore I 
believe this matches the requirements for backporting to scarthgap too.

Thanks!
Quentin

I'm open for any suggestions. I'm not a native speaker and better in writing
code than texts.

I'll send a v2 for this patch.

Hi Jörg,

Please try to add the v2 when sending the second version of a patch so 
the maintainer doesn't have to guess which one is the latest from their 
inbox. Also try to add below the --- what changed between v1 and v2.

No need to do this now I believe? Let's see if the maintainer(s) say the 
opposite.

Cheers,
Quentin

Yes, you're right. I've realised it the moment git-send-email printed the
subject.

> Also try to add below the --- what changed between v1 and v2.

Is there a git-send-email option to do so easily?

Not that I'm aware. I used to use git-format-patch and then edit the 
patches by hand if I remember correctly. I've personally switched to 
b4[1] about 2 years ago for my contributions to different projects and 
the diff between versions is stored in the cover-letter, which is stored 
as an empty commit on top of your series. If there's only one patch in 
the series, the content of the cover-letter is added below the --- of 
the patch.

git format-patch -v2 will tweak the subject line properly.
