It all depends if you really want to go ahead with this...

Yes, we are aware of the userspace impact, but this name change makes
all devices on OMAP have consistent names and actually improves the
ability to have userspace tools have consistent naming as well.

So there are no imporant users, or if there is, they are prepared for this change?

Well, I do not know any user of that today. Do you have some in mind?
