No concern on the burst function rename, that is driver internal, but related to 
the above change, I think new value "Scalar Simple" is not clear, what does 
'Simple' mean?
At least previously "Scalar Scattered" vs "Scalar" was more clear, one can 
easily say difference is scattered Rx support, but with "Scalar" vs "Scalar 
Simple" the difference is not clear.
