The name "ctrlr" also matches the name of the structure.  Are you
suggesting also renaming "struct rpmh_ctrlr" to "struct rpmh_client",
or you think they should be different names?

I'm advocating that we should land this patch series to unblock
everything.  Hopefully you agree that's OK and if we want to change
the name of this we can do it in a future patch.  Let me know if you
disagree.  ...if others agree that the series should land and you
really want the name change, I'm happy to post up a version of the
series with the fix to help move things along...
