When the drivers are built as modules, the file name will become the module name. Rename the files so everything matches: the Kconfig symbol, the platform driver name (as seen in sysfs), and the module name. Signed-off-by: Samuel Holland <samuel@sholland.org>
I'm not a big fan of big renames like this, it makes merging and backporting patches harder in the long term. I assume you did this to make the module autoloading work? If so, using MODULE_ALIAS would be less intrusive Maxime
