Spell out openfirmware :). I initially had no idea "of == openfirmware"
and I suspect others won't either...
This would be unusually long name, that is

$ find . -iname '*openfirmware*' | wc -l
0

And in contrast:

drivers/video/offb.c
drivers/video/nvidia/nv_of.c
drivers/usb/host/ohci-ppc-of.c
drivers/usb/host/ehci-ppc-of.c
drivers/serial/of_serial.c
drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c
...

So, I think we should stick with the "of" for consistency, while
confused users may consult with Kconfig for disambiguation.
The other cases don't have a gpio driver to confuse this new driver
with. Lets spell it out please, the filesystems can handle the extra
letters :).
There's drivers/mtd/maps/physmap.c and drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c,
drivers/serial/of_serial.c and drivers/serial/serial_core.c,
drivers/usb/host/ehci-ppc-soc.c and drivers/usb/host/ehci-ppc-of.c, etc.
