Was it a copy&paste error? If it used to be correct I'd prefer to keep Motorola in there.
The reason is that there exists no "Motorola i.MX" anymore. Freescale is the company that manufactures the i.MX processors currently, not Motorola. Motorola used to manufacture i.MX devices until 2004. After the spin-off in 2004, Freescale continued as the i.MX manufacturer. Also, if you look at the first submission of the i.MX framebuffer driver from Sascha (imxfb: Add Freescale i.MX framebuffer driver - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h|2f891cb64b0b9c8d389da97c221ee4288f1307) it contains the correct name there ,so this patch makes the driver selection consistent.
