[PATCH v2 0/2][SRU][C][D][E]AX88772A USB to Ethernet dongle doesn't work

[AceLan Kao]

I just added the missing cosmic nomination, thanks.

I don't know how to check the d-i module lists, maybe you can give me
some hints.
This renamed driver is newly added after v4.18, and its name conflicts
with the USB one,
If the driver name, asix, listed in the d-i module lists, it should
indicate the origin USB asix driver, not
the newly added(renamed) driver. So, I think it's safe to rename it.
