As Russell indicated you should really keep the old name around, though
marking them as deprecated is OK.  However I'm not sure anyone will have
deployed this so I'm not sure how much it matters - every downstream
kernel I've seen was still using board files anyway.

The actual meat of the patch changing to a quirk scheme does look good,
though.

I think the -vN naming scheme was fine - I see where this came from but
the main point was about having things identified by a string not
switching the naming scheme.  As you can see from the s3c6410 stuff the
SoC isn't that helpful as a naming scheme as multiple IP versions appear
on the same SoC.
