I found e.g. this on upstream work on that topic:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/e515b840-c6f1-bc07-9369-c95e352573b2@solarflare.com/T/
but I must confess I have not dug into upstream kernel sources to find
out if this has been accepted in the kernel, and if so from what
version.

I really don't want to argue any political arguments on the merits of
removing master/slave, blacklist/whitelist, black hat/white hat here,
but I think "it is some effort" or "it concerns only few people" is not
the strongest argument. *If* one considers it the right thing to do,
then some minor effort in comparable with other minor changes is not
out of line.
