Sorry, my fault. It's from Jean. The link is

I am also fine with both. I think most people won't confuse about mtk
and mediatek. I don't like send patches to just only change filenames
and kconfig, especially kconfig modification will affect project
defconfigs. My point is we shouldn't spend much time on this topic, and
revisit filename when that driver need support new SoC, like this case.
