Would naming the drivers with a "nintendo-" prefix while keeping them
separate be an acceptable solution? Since these drivers share no common
code, merging them will result in a big driver with different parts for
unrelated hardware (save for the maker company), which doesn't seem
right.

For the gamecube adapter driver, I'd prefer to keep it separate; but
I'll integrate it to hid-nintendo as Emmanuel did for the wii-u if
that's the preferred option.
