+Subject: [PATCH] leds: trigger: netdev: fix refcnt leak on interface rename
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Renaming a netdev-trigger-tracked interface was resulting in an
+unbalanced dev_hold().
+
+Example:
+> iw phy phy0 interface add foo type __ap
+> echo netdev > trigger
+> echo foo > device_name
+> ip link set foo name bar
+> iw dev bar del
+[ 237.355366] unregister_netdevice: waiting for bar to become free. Usage count = 1
+[ 247.435362] unregister_netdevice: waiting for bar to become free. Usage count = 1
+[ 257.545366] unregister_netdevice: waiting for bar to become free. Usage count = 1
+
+Above problem was caused by trigger checking a dev->name which obviously
+changes after renaming an interface. It meant missing all further events
+including the NETDEV_UNREGISTER which is required for calling dev_put().
+
+This change fixes that by:
+1) Comparing device struct *address* for notification-filtering purposes
+2) Dropping unneeded NETDEV_CHANGENAME code (no behavior change)
+
