The code is grossly misnamed. Yes, that's pretty serious issue, more
serious than checkpatch, I'd say. This actually hurts the person
trying to read the code.
Yes, people sometimes get a way with similary bad names -- mostly by
merging the code so early that by the time it gets good name, it is
already in vanilla tree. But a) you already missed that opportunity
and b) bad stuff in tree does not mean we should add more bad stuff.
