KBUILD_MODNAME is automatically expanded from the file name.  so any
code using KBUILD_MODNAME cannot be renamed with 0 side effects.  the
question is whether the changed string makes a difference to the
driver.

so if the places where KBUILD_MODNAME is used doesn't actually care
about the contents of the string (and is purely for information
purposes only), then there shouldnt be a problem.  but if there is
implicit lookups/matching based on the string, then this is a problem.
