Subject: [PATCH 0/8] fix warnings for same module names

Hi,

This patch set addresses warnings that module names are named the
same, this may lead to a problem that wrong module gets loaded or if one
of the two same-name modules exports a symbol, this can confuse the
dependency resolution. and the build may fail.

Patch "drivers: net: dsa: realtek: fix warning same module names" and
"drivers: net: phy: realtek: fix warning same module names" resolves the
name clatch realtek.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/net/phy/realtek.ko
  drivers/net/dsa/realtek.ko

Patch  "drivers: (video|gpu): fix warning same module names" resolves
the name clatch mxsfb.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/video/fbdev/mxsfb.ko
  drivers/gpu/drm/mxsfb/mxsfb.ko

Patch "drivers: media: i2c: fix warning same module names" resolves the
name clatch adv7511.ko however, it seams to refer to the same device
name in i2c_device_id, does anyone have any guidance how that should be
solved?

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/adv7511/adv7511.ko
  drivers/media/i2c/adv7511.ko

Patch "drivers: media: coda: fix warning same module names" resolves the
name clatch coda.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  fs/coda/coda.ko
  drivers/media/platform/coda/coda.ko

Patch "drivers: net: phy: fix warning same module names" resolves the
name clatch asix.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/net/phy/asix.ko
  drivers/net/usb/asix.ko

Patch "drivers: mfd: 88pm800: fix warning same module names" and
"drivers: regulator: 88pm800: fix warning same module names" resolves
the name clatch 88pm800.ko.

warning: same module names found:
  drivers/regulator/88pm800.ko
  drivers/mfd/88pm800.ko

Cheers,
Anders
