Or patch description. It's neither generic (IP-block-specific) nor simple.

It's not simple; I've seen far simpler GPIO controllers.
Just rename it to match the IP block used. That removes all confusion. Engineers will be able to know more easily whether this driver is even relevant to them.
An example might be "amba-9999 (a made-up number, likely not matching a GPIO controller). DesignWare drivers tend to use dw_* prefixes.
