Though I'm a big fan of unification and made an effort to have this sorted out 
in master, I do not think backporting those device name changes is very 
helpful. This will create additional work, but effectively it will just move 
the "break" from 19.07/master to 18.06/19.07.

As a cosmetic issue, it wouldn't be a candidate for backporting under normal 
circumstances, too.

For further reasoning/discussion, refer to the following PR in GitHub, where 
the same question has already been discussed a month ago:

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/2574#issuecomment-559460188

I will mark this PR as Rejected, I hope you accept my arguments and continue to 
submit contributions in the future.

Best

Adrian
