The name has the advantage that we have a bunch of drivers using it already:

arch/arm/plat-orion/gpio.c
arch/arm/plat-orion/irq.c
arch/arm/plat-orion/mpp.c
arch/arm/plat-orion/pcie.c
arch/arm/plat-orion/time.c
drivers/mtd/nand/orion_nand.c
drivers/spi/spi-orion.c
drivers/usb/host/ehci-orion.c
drivers/watchdog/orion_wdt.c

AFAICT, those are shared between most of those socs, and I would not want
to change the code in them to the new name. If we change the directory
name to something completely different, it no longer matches the driver
names.
