adi is the externally visible name for this feature and that is how it
is referenced in the docs. Firmware encodes it as "adp" for its
internal use and that is how it shows up in hwcap-list property. So
this code translates it from firmware internal name to the external
name which would make sense to someone looking at /proc/cpuinfo.
I totally disagree with changing the string.
If the firmware provides X that's what we should publish in the
cap list. It doesn't really matter what the docs say.
Otherwise we have this rediculous set of translations whenever
something like this pops up again, and that kind of crud tends
to accumulate.
It is a marketing/copyright thing, but I agree with you :) Let me check
with marketing if they are ok with not doing the translation.
Thanks,
Khalid
