+Subject: [PATCH] leds: trigger: netdev: fix handling on interface rename
+
+The NETDEV_CHANGENAME code is not "unneeded" like it is stated in commit
+4cb6560514fa ("leds: trigger: netdev: fix refcnt leak on interface
+rename").
+
+The event was accidentally misinterpreted equivalent to
+NETDEV_UNREGISTER, but should be equivalent to NETDEV_REGISTER.
+
+This was the case in the original code from the openwrt project.
+
+Otherwise, you are unable to set netdev led triggers for (non-existent)
+netdevices, which has to be renamed. This is the case, for example, for
+ppp interfaces in openwrt.
+
+Fixes: 06f502f57d0d ("leds: trigger: Introduce a NETDEV trigger")
+Fixes: 4cb6560514fa ("leds: trigger: netdev: fix refcnt leak on interface rename")
