Yes it is a possigility, not sure if there is any (trivial) drawback to
solve while movinf, but consider that the final name for the .ko LKM has to
have the scmi_transport prefix somehow to be able to live in the tree and distinguish
those LKMs from (vendor) protocols ones...so I would have anyway to craft an
scmi_ naming in the Makefile

Thanks,
Cristian
