Renaming stuff like this is going to have an impact on the userspace
as anyone looking through /sys's driver heirarchy is going to miss the
old name...

It all depends if you really want to go ahead with this...

Yes, we are aware of the userspace impact, but this name change makes
all devices on OMAP have consistent names and actually improves the
ability to have userspace tools have consistent naming as well.

So there are no imporant users, or if there is, they are prepared for this change?

Well, I do not know any user of that today. Do you have some in mind?

Sounds like it's safe for me to take these two.

These should probably go via Paul's integration branch to avoid
conflicts with the other omap_device/omap_hwmod code.

Well Paul acked it.. Will check with him what he wants to do.
