Change the driver name from omapdss to omap_display as the driver takes care of
the display devices ie number of panels, type of panels available in the
platform.  Change the device name in the board files and 2420,2430,3xxx clock
files from omapdss to omap_display to match the driver name.
I just realized that changing the driver name will break all scripts and
applications using omapdss sysfs files.

How does this sound:

Let's leave the omapdss device name as it is. It represents a "super"
device, containing the dss sysfs files and upper level dss management.

Name the HW module platform drivers as: omapdss_dss, omapdss_venc,
omapdss_dispc, etc. This would indicate them to be clearly parts of DSS,
and would also prevent any possible name conflict if there would happen
to be a, say, "dsi" block in some other HW component.
Any comments on this?
I also think we need to stick to the older name, "omapdss_dss" sounds a 
bit confusing, and I think one of the previous versions had something 
like "dss_dss" in it and it wasn't approved. Does something like 
"omapdss_core" or "omapdss_dss_core" make sense, or is it more misleading?
