Understood. I will rename `vs_dcu_lite.c` to `vs_dc8000.c`, all internal 
functions from `vs_dcu_lite_*` to `vs_dc8000_*`, the exported symbol 
from `vs_dcu_lite_funcs` to `vs_dc8000_funcs`, and update the Makefile 
accordingly.

Understood. The Kconfig change adding `ARCH_MA35` will be moved to a 
separate commit placed after the HWDB entry is added, or as the final 
commit in the series.
