lvds-encoder... why not lvds-bridge?

Hi gang!

I was wondering why lvds-encoder.c is named like that.
(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?

Now with Eric's latest patchset, we might want to rename all that to something a
bit more appropriate.

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

Cheers!
