There is no driver named "synopsys", therefore "synopsys: " is not an
appropriate subsystem prefix.

Subsystem prefixes have to refer to real names in the source tree in
one form or another.

I know you guys really want to rename the stmmac driver to that, but
no agreement has occurred on that issue and therefore assuming it
has happened is not appropriate.
