It affects several modules. I guess the only thing here that we need to get right from the start is the new module name, everything else is relatively easy to change later. drm_dp_helper.ko seems fine by me. Note that this will also affect the drm_kms_helper.ko module parameters dp_aux_i2c_speed_khz, dp_aux_i2c_transfer_size and drm_dp_cec_unregister_delay, which will move to drm_dp_helper.ko. See the monstrosity near the top of drm_kms_helper_common.c I had to add for backward compatibility when I moved drm_edid_load.c from drm_kms_helper.ko to drm.ko. That was perhaps different, as these seem more like debug knobs, but at a minimum this needs to be mentioned in the commit message, and certainly needs acks from Dave and/or Daniel.
