Bug Description
In the s390x world people identify all devices (except the fairly new pci devices) via their subchannel.
It would be great to have that reflected as a match in the yaml.
Currently the subchannel is rendered into the device name like subchannel "c000" becomes "encc000" and that is how you identify your cards. Yet traditionally I'm sure people would like to identify by "just" the subchannel.
Currently neither networkd nor NetworkManager expose anything for that so the effort would be huge for something small. Still I'd keep it open for discussion at least.

I'm afraid I don't know what that means, this might be a z series specific concept? This isn't exposed by networkd or NM directly, but it might be possible that the subchannel is part of the ifnames generated name so that you can use a name glob?
