I think we should do that too for devices that have a device-tree

it's only fair that only the kernel keeps the inconsistent naming and
not the other way round.
Would it be possible to have two names referring to the same
device-tree, so that new installations can use the cleaned-up naming
scheme while keeping the kernel backwards compatible with U-Boots that
that still use the old name?
No that cannot be (easily) done.
Well, I think it's a good idea to do it and I see a few ways to do it in
a not so dirty way:
* have symlinks in arch/arm/boot/dts/ with the new names as actual files
and the legacy names as symlinks
* or, add build rules to also create dtb files with the legacy names
(but keeping the dts names in the new scheme)
* or, duplicate each file, which is probably unmaintainable and not the
best idea
