The video_ prefix is there to signal that the code is part of the video 
subsystem.

But there's too much code that tried to figure out a default video 
device. So I actually have different plans for this function. I'd like 
to replace it with a helper that returns the default device instead of 
just testing for it. Sample code for x86 is already in vgaarb.c. [1] The 
function's name would then be video_default_device() and return the 
appropriate struct device*. video_is_primary device() will be removed. 
This rename here is the easiest step towards the new helper. Ok?

Best regards
Thomas
