I'm not OK with this. It's called internally stmmac beause it's based upon an ST Microelectronics chipset.
This is what happens when we have several sub drivers based upon a top-level common chipset "library".
The problem you have is that just knowing the driver doesn't tell you the dependencies, but that's a larger scope generic problem that needs a high level solution rather then something we should be hacking around with name adjustments here and there.
