I just realized that changing the driver name will break all scripts and
applications using omapdss sysfs files.

How does this sound:

Let's leave the omapdss device name as it is. It represents a "super"
device, containing the dss sysfs files and upper level dss management.

Name the HW module platform drivers as: omapdss_dss, omapdss_venc,
omapdss_dispc, etc. This would indicate them to be clearly parts of DSS,
and would also prevent any possible name conflict if there would happen
to be a, say, "dsi" block in some other HW component.
