Using "git format-patch -M" for renames would make it much easier to see
that all that's happening is a file rename and/or whatever other diff is
happening.

I'd actually prefer to go the other way on the file renaming, and name
all binding files after the complete compatible value they describe,
rather than removing the vendor prefix on some files. But, I don't feel
strongly for files I don't directly own.

Technically this change shouldn't be made since it's an incompatible
change to the DT ABI, unless you keep all the old entries in the
driver's match tables and just add the new entries rather than deleting
the old ones. If you do that, it should be enough to placate anyone
adamantly opposed to this change, I think.
