You're right, but the rework suggested by Maíra will add a select to the
helpers Kconfig symbol there so we should be safe.

vc4_dev is the main structure in the driver for the DRM device, so we
can't rename it easily.

Generally speaking the driver was (and still is) called vc4 after the IP
name in the original RaspberryPi SoC.

There's been a new generation since, but we supported it through the vc4
driver. Even if it's a bit ambiguous, vc4 refers to both the driver name
and is used extensively in the infrastructure, but also refers to the
initial generation we supported. vc5 is only the new generation.

I'm not sure removing the number would be less confusing.

Yeah, that's what I'd expect at some point as well :)

I'm not sure. It adds an interface for something we don't really need,
so I'm not sure if it's really beneficial.

David pointed at that patch though, which seems more promising:
