Done.

This is a frequent problem, not just when manufacturers change their
name, but also when chip divisions are sold from one manufacturer to
another (for example Analog Devices to ON Semi, recently). But it
doesn't really matter. Driver names are arbitrary anyway, and once we
have settled for a name, this is how people (and sensors-detect!) know
the driver and I'd rather not change it afterwards: that's more pain
than is worth.
