I agree that this needs to be tested (or dropped).
And its annoying that neither of us have the hardware at this time.

Personally I think a single patch is the way to go.
Though I have no strong feelings on the issue.

With regards to your question about splitting the patch. Adding the names
as a separate patch should be fine for the reason you describe. However, I
suspect the other split you suggest would not work.

In any case, two patches would reflect the way the changes
have been made on the 7372 (mackerel and ap4evb).
