The normal convention is for filenames to be all lowercase except for
some special ones like "Makefile", "Kconfig", "README" etc (although
there are a few exceptions,for source files, like
drivers/scsi/NCR5380.c, include/asm-m68knommu/MC68328.h,
drivers/block/DAC960.c and others).
To find some more, try this in the kernel source dir : find ./ -name "[A-Z]*"

It would make sense to me personally to rename this one, but it's not
my call and besides it'll open a whole can of worms about whether or
not to rename the other ones...
