A general issue with this series is that it introduces a very generic
name for a very specific single SoC. We remember exactly the same cases
for Exynos4 (original name used for Exynos5250) and Exynos5 (Exynos5250)
and we should have learned that it is better to use a specific name
first and only then try to make things common if it turns out to be
appropriate.

Best regards,
Tomasz
