Fasten your seat belts before reading further....

Rather than generic 'samsung', I would suggest the driver named
after the SoC, that is supported first(chronologically) in mainline kernel.
All newer SoCs should be simply taken to contain the controller of that SoC.
Otherwise, the same naming problem comes back to haunt us should
Samsung decides to use a different IP in future SoCs. What would we
call that driver? pata_samsung_v2.c ?
