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.

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
