I don't have a strong opinion on the name since it could be considered
in both ways,

- SMCv0 and SMCv1 provide similar functions and are implemented in the
  same driver. The firmware version is already printed in the probe
  callback, which should be enough for debugging purpose.
- Meanwhile, loongson3_cpufreq_smc0_driver and
  loongson3_cpufreq_smc1_driver ARE different sets of callbacks,
  different names may avoid future confusion.

I'm willing to provide different names in v2 unless you change your mind
or there're further objections, thanks.
