I can do that if you want, although it seems a bit like pointless
churn.  If I do that it ought to be renamed as well as re-spelled
because xendevicemodel_handle is actually a struct, not a "handle"
(ie, not a scalar).[1]  So
   s/xendevicemodel_handle/XendevicemodelInterface/
I guess ?

[1] If it were a scalar CODING_STYLE says it should be in lowercase
with _t.  This is a violation of the C standard, which reserves names
ending _t for the implementation...

Ian.
