> Users of the ixgbe driver report that after adding devlink support by the commit a0285236ab93 ("ixgbe: add initial devlink support") their configs got broken due to unwanted changes of interfaces names.
> It's caused by changing names by devlink port initialization flow.
>
> To prevent from that set skip_phys_port_name_get flag for ixgbe devlink ports.
