Please be consistent. Make your prefixes, name, filenames the same.
For example:
prestera_driver_kind[] = "prestera";

Applied to the whole code.
So you suggested to use prestera_ as a prefix, I dont see a problem
with that, but why not mvsw_pr_ ? So it has the vendor, device name parts
together as a key. Also it is necessary to apply prefix for the static
names ?
Although static names don't cause linker issues, you do still see them
in opps stack traces, etc. It just helps track down where the symbols
come from, if they all have a prefix.

Sure, thanks, makes sense. But is it necessary that prefix should match
filenames too ? Would it be OK to use just 'mvpr_' instead of 'prestera_'
I would vote for "prestera_". It is clean, consistent, obvious.

for funcs & types in this particular case ?
