I tend to agree with this. While the new name does make more sense,
I would first like to see the bigger plan. If you are eventually
planning to consolidate all of mach-s5p64x0, mach-s5pc100, mach-s5pv210,
mach-exynos4 and plat-s5p into one common mach-s5p or mach-exynos
directory, I'm all for that because it reduces code duplication
and work required for the overall cross-subarchitecture single zimage
work.
Simply renaming something because the name does not quite fit entirely
should be done very carefully.
