IIUC, Thierry and Jon have a testing suite that uses the old name, but
it shouldn't be a problem to support the new name in addition to the old
name since it's internal/private testing suite.

The reason I'm proposing this change is because it's not obvious where
the SMMU debug is located when you look at the debugfs directory, it
takes some effort to find it.

A single SMMU is guaranteed here. Only latest Tegra SoCs have two SMMUs
and those are ARM SMMUs, while this is a legacy Tegra SMMU here.
