In general I agree, but the diff shows the renamed file as all-new code anyway,
so I figured renaming the functions doesn't really create additional noise. I'll
leave it up to you how to handle it in detail, but the exported common functions
and defines should really not be named adt7410. After all, future developers
won't know the history.
