Lets do renaming in different/separate patch. It is better to split API
change patch (which should have any visible functional changes) and
fixups (which will have some visible changes) in separate patches.

Lorenzo, Bjorn, Krzysztof: This is something for you... Do you have any
ideas or suggestions in unifying or fixing these names? I guess more
drivers have misleading names and it is better to do any such changes
globally and not just in one driver.
