I'd similarly lean towards naming the new file designware.c, or
synopsis.c.  It looks like the rest of the i2c drivers use a _i2c
suffix, so I guess designware_i2c.c or synopsis_i2c.c would be best for
consistency's sake.  At a minimum it'd be nice to mention in the
dw_i2c.c file what silicon the driver supports as right now a user needs
to guess what "dw_i2c.c" runs on based solely on "dw".

When you create patches with git format-patch, its nice to use the -M
and -C to detect renames/copies.  It makes the patch much smaller and
much easier to review what actually changed.

Best,
Peter
