I see no reason why the internal names can't be used in the code; just
make the configuration option texts user-friendly so that the common
names for the devices are used.

A comment at the top of the file may also help.

As far as filenames go, let's keep them the same for now; we can rename
the filenames later once stuff is merged - while git can sort out
subsequent _merges_ with files renamed, but what it can't do is apply
patches on top of renamed files.  That's just something to be aware of
when chosing when to rename.
