lvds-encoder... why not lvds-bridge

Bonjour Laurent!

I was wondering why you choose to name the lvds-encoder.c driver like so.
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/67cc3e22b00f9027eaa0902ecf52ac5f4f5cac97)

The driver is clearly a drm_bridge, nested in the drm/bridge subdir... so why
not "lvds-bridge.c"?

Also, the associated bindings document is named "lvds-transmitter.txt", how
confusing is that?

Just wondering if it was intended and if not, whether a patch to harmonize all
that would be welcomed.

Cheers!
