There does not seem to be a clear policy in that directory yet, so I
chose to put the subsystem name first. There have been a few subsystems
recently which adopted this naming scheme for their drivers, so it
seemed to be a good choice if we want to start a naming scheme that
sticks.

Yes, I'm aware of that. My list did not include the mach/atmel-mci.h
or the mach/board.h files, which suffer from this problem and cannot
easily be merged.
