If we were to align the names, what should be the "aligned" name? gptimer or timer? I tend to prefer gptimer as 'timer' is rather ambiguous in this context. For now, we could leave the names of all the functions and structs as 'dm_timer', but at least this serious could name the new files and the platform devices with the new name. At the end of the series, one final patch to s/dm_timer/new_beautiful_name/ would be an easy patch.
