Hrm, you hadn't mentioned the rename in that thread.  I do note that the
change was from KPIT Cummins who submitted the drivers for this chip for
you guys and appear to be doing updates too...

No, users will not have to do any extra work - if anything they have to
do marginally less with only registering one device.  As discussed this
is the way Linux handles things (which is also the rationale in the
changelog for the PMIC rename).  Looking at the changelogs I'd not be
surprised if the rename was done due to the author getting caught out by
the non-standard way the driver was done.
