Generally, I support whatever the interested parties agree to.
But one thing I am against is changing the driver name for existing
users. If an existing chip is supported by the stmmac driver for
existing users, they should still continue to use the "stmmac" driver.
Therefore, if consolidation changes the driver module name for
existing users, then that is not a good plan at all.
