I looked into this a bit and there's a few other (much older) examples
of 'ethernet' rather than 'ethernet0' and the spec doesn't mandate
aliases end in a number.

That said, looking at the code, I think we can do this in a more clear
manner.  Can you test this please?

Ah, good to know.

That one accepts everything starting with "ethernet", which sounds undesirable
if one wants to have e.g. an "ethernet-phy0" alias for some different purpose.

True.  Would you mind doing a v2 of your patch then (and grab my part to
just use the length of ethernet in the strncmp) where we don't add a
comment implying RPi is "wrong" here and just that we sometimes have
"ethernet" as the alias for the first and only ethernet device?  Thanks!

Sure, will do it on Monday when I have access to my Pi again!
