The name for should be still trusted.ko even if new backends are added.
Must be done in order not to break user space.

Situation is quite similar as when new backends were added to tpm_tis
some time ago: MMIO backed implementation was kept as tpm_tis.ko, the
core module was named as tpm_tis_core and SPI backed implementation was
named as tpm_tis_spi.ko.
