These kind of file names could be in every protocol...

Based on experience with another open source C project where I did
segregate files into sub-folders and tried to simplify the file names
by utilizing sub-directories, you will likely have file naming
conflicts between protocols if you remove the protocol name from the
file. C file names must be unique in the build (for most compilers
and linkers that I have used).
Best Regards,
Steve
