Thus, Add support for implementing CAN aliasing so that names or
alias for CAN will now be provided from device tree.
NACK, please use udev or systemd-networkd to provide stable names for
CAN interfaces.

Would you like to re-consider this NACK.

From kernel side,

IMO if aliasing is set in device tree then kernel should provide consistent baseline names.

However, distributions may choose different or other stable naming,

Also, if some distribution want to rely on kernel naming they still can do.

Thanks
