Either use the stock ticker, in UPPER CASE, or use a nice
descriptive name.  The lower case space is "free for all",
using shortened names (like "mrvl") there only increases
the chances of collisions.

Frankly Segher, it doesn't matter to me.  However, NONE of the
existing DTS files use upper-case stock ticker.  I see no reason
to deviate from the existing convention

It's not an existing convention, it's a mistake some people made ;-)

(even if that convention
doesn't follow the previously defined upper-case stock ticker
convention.)

That's not a "previously defined convention", it's the defined
rules in the OF standard.  Conventions are examples that are nice
to follow if there's no real reason to choose either way; standards
are things that if you break them, people shout out you.

Let me say this again: it is *fine* if you use some lower-case name.
In that case though, "marvell" is slightly better than "mrvl", and
you had the former already, so just keep it :-)

Agreed?  Ca we move on now?  :-)
