The kernel stack can be more consistent by printing the IFF_PROMISC
aka promiscuous enable/disable messages with the standard netdev_info
message which can include bus and driver info as well as the device.
typical command usage from user space looks like:
ip link set eth0 promisc <on|off>
But lots of utilities such as bridge, tcpdump, etc put the interface into
promiscuous mode.
old message:
[ 406.034418] device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
[ 408.424703] device eth0 left promiscuous mode
new message:
[ 406.034431] ice 0000:17:00.0 eth0: entered promiscuous mode
[ 408.424715] ice 0000:17:00.0 eth0: left promiscuous mode
