Patch #3 adds the driver. The name ssd1307 was used instead of ssd130x
(which would be more accurate) to avoid confusion for users who want to
migrate from the existing ssd1307fb fbdev driver.

Looking forward the name ssd130x would make more sense. There is only so
many existing users and a potential of much more new users.
So in my color of the world the naming that benefits the most users
wins.

It depends if the binding is going to be preserved. Also this series doesn't
answer to the question what to do with the old driver.

If you leave it, I would expect the backward compatibility, otherwise the
series misses removal of the old driver.
