[ Upstream commit 5f820ed523 ]
The NETDEV_CHANGENAME code is not "unneeded" like it is stated in commit
4cb6560514 ("leds: trigger: netdev: fix refcnt leak on interface
rename").
The event was accidentally misinterpreted equivalent to
NETDEV_UNREGISTER, but should be equivalent to NETDEV_REGISTER.
This was the case in the original code from the openwrt project.
Otherwise, you are unable to set netdev led triggers for (non-existent)
netdevices, which has to be renamed. This is the case, for example, for
ppp interfaces in openwrt.
