Imho, enccw600 is confusing. FIrst of all, I have no idea why ccw code path is compiled on all architectures when this bus is only present on S/390.

Furthermore that's the only bus one can have ethernet devices (and dasd disk drives) on.

Thus all network nics end up with "ccw" in the name, which is weird. Thus I do want to drop the static prefix of ccw, which has no meaning (unlike e.g. letters in the PCI enumeration).

I've contacted original contributer of the ccw names, no response yet. Will propose upstream too.
