However, they just include the lower-case version anyway.
Apparently this commit just moved the files into the uapi folder (LKML message, LWN article). Unfortunately, there is no history prior to this. I assume its an artifact from the previous source code tree. There are probably some build systems out there, relying on these files.
Unfortunately, git gets confused on non case-sensitive file systems (e.g. Windows NTFS by default), showing file changes, because it cannot properly distinguish between the two files.
This is only really a problem when there are two files with the same name but different cases in a folder. Please read this StackOverflow answer.
