Upon further inspection, yes changing existing boards can break 
userspace applications as some procfs entries are enumerated with the 
name of the soundcard. So updating AM62x is out of the question.

I am in favor of maintaining naming consistency with this board.

Devarsh, I notice the current scheme is not entirely opaque, as the pcm 
device enumerates both the cpu & codec driver names:

root@am62xx-evm:~# aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default:CARD=AM62xSKEVM
    AM62x-SKEVM, davinci-mcasp.0-tlv320aic3x-hifi tlv320aic3x-hifi-0
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=AM62xSKEVM
    AM62x-SKEVM, davinci-mcasp.0-tlv320aic3x-hifi tlv320aic3x-hifi-0
    Default Audio Device

Please feel free to pull the current series, if no further comments.
