This is my mistake 7 years ago and it bothers me every time we write a
new one of these - in particular since we now support a few different
"Qualcomm pinctrl" blocks.

It would be ugly for a while, but I'm in favor of naming these
"qcom,<platform>-tlmm" going forward.

PS. And we can solve the ugliness by introducing the "proper" naming
(and keeping the old one for backwards compatibility) as we migrate the
binding documents to yaml.
