Does it really matter? It's not here to stay, it's temporary and
exists only until the whole series is applied - which given that it's
limited to gpio and pinctrl, shouldn't take more than one release
cycle.

There are plenty of examples of this naming convention for temporary
symbols - there's even an ongoing effort to replace all .remove()
callbacks with .remove_new() which will then be changed back to
.remove() treewide.
