I agree, doing the device naming in user space to solve this problem would require identifying the board with the particular bug in a table that is kept by the distro, and we currently don't even have a way to identify a specific board. I certainly wouldn't want to rely on things like the recently proposed /sys/devices/socinfo for identifying whether or not we want to rename a USB ethernet device.
