Thanks. If you prefer we could follow up with a rename for v5.20 and
name this similar to the device tree bindings. There are other cases
where the device tree bindings are named differently from the Linux
subsystem and/or driver directories, but admittedly it'd be easy to
make them match in this case. Given how little this is exposed at
this point, renaming should be fairly unintrusive.
