The maximum allowed value of the sysfs device index entry was limited to 16383 (2^14-1) to avoid the generation of unreasonable onboard interface names. For s390 the index can assume a value of up to 65535 (2^16-1) which is now allowed depending on the new naming flag NAMING_16BIT_INDEX. Larger index values are considered unreasonable and remain to be ignored.
