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
