You know this is one of the two hard problems in CS ;-)
But seriously, this is the name used in the downstream ChromiumsOS kernel
and tbh I don't think is that bad since after all is a character device
interface to access the Embedded Controller from user-space. So in that
sense is not worse than the i2c-dev or spidev names but I can try to come
up with something more creative if that will block the patch to be merged.
Best regards,
Javier
