systemd-udev: net_id: Interface Consistent Device Naming is broken in 7.4 for sfc driver (solarflare)

Solution Verified - Updated 2018-01-09T14:13:28+00:00 -

Issue

After updating to RHEL 7.4, the interface name of Solarflare interfaces have changed. This can cause network configurations which depend on a matching interface name to fail to apply.
With an older RHEL 7 system, the names were something like ens1f0 and ens1f1. After the update to RHEL 7.4, the same interfaces now appear with the names ens1f0np0 and ens1f1np1.

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4
Solarflare NIC (sfc driver)
