Summary

When trying to auto-load a module, we trim the interface number off
the end. Currently we stop at the first digit. For interfaces which
have numbers in the driver name this does not work well.
In the current example ifconfig ath10k0 would load ath(4) instead of
ath10k(4). For module/interface names like rtw88[0] we never guess
correctly.
To improve for the case we can, start trimming off digits from the
end rather than the front.
