In order to make sure that users can still use the previous name, to avoid breaking
Backwards compatibility, you modify DRIVER_NAME with the new name and then use
RTE_PMD_REGISTER_ALIAS(DRIVER_NAME, turbo_sw);
This way, both names can be used, but you should update the docs to use the new name.

Thanks,
Pablo
