These names are generated by systemd-udevd, although they are based on
information from the kernel.

Looking at the system-udevd source code, it appears that the extra
"np0" is derived from a new "phys_port_name" attribute of the network
device, which the bnxt_en driver added support for in Linux 4.14.

It looks like this is required for switchdev functionality, so I don't
think this change is going to be reverted.

Ben.
