I didn't "name" it this way. It's a plain copy from Linux. And this is done 
intentionally so that we can easily "borrow" code from there. Changing it's 
name (and this is just one example, there are most likely many of those ones) 
into something else would be plain stupid from my point of view.

Then please grep for "#define CONFIG_" in the include directory. You will be 
surprised how many of these defines there are outside of the include/configs 
directory.

Best regards,
