I'm OK with revisiting this kernel provider naming topic. Because it's
always healthy to rework or reorganize, and because it's a while (I
think more than 3 years?) that we had this discussion in the past. So,
I do want to hear suggestions as well.

However, if this kernel provider get a name change, linux-fslc must
follow the same pattern. At the end, they point to the same git
repository, which is going to follow the same pattern as well.
