Having a fixed prefix helps at several places. It ensures that another driver doesn't use the same function name which confuses the linker and tools like ctags. It simplifies working with function tracing and dynamic printk() support which can filter on function names. And last but not least it helps the human source code reader to understand if a given function belongs to a driver or a more general part of the kernel.
