summarizing gna name justification topic, is the intel_gna.ko driver's
following layout within kernel code OK for You?:
1. driver/module name:
prompt$ lspci -s 00:00.3 -vvvv
00:00.3 System peripheral: Intel Corporation Device 3190 (rev 03)
....
Kernel driver in use: intel_gna
Kernel modules: intel_gna
2. mv drivers/misc/gna/* drivers/misc/intel_gna/
3. prompt$ file /dev/intel_gna0
/dev/intel_gna0: character special (10/120)
# ..., /dev/intel_gna1, /dev/intel_gna2 for subsequent devices
