Add a number of vendor prefixes by kirkwood devices. These are not all
stock tickers, but have been in use for a while so changing would not
be easy.

I do not have a strong opinion on it but I think I read on LAKML there
was some kind of rule to use ticker symbol for a given vendor if it
exists e.g. ntgr for netgear (like fsl for freescale, brcm for broadcom,
etc).

Cheers,

For new symbols, we do try to use the ticker when available.  However,
it's more important not to break compatibility with DT info already in
the field.

thx,

Jason.

What you say is true, we try to use stock tickers. However, in the
changelog i say:

    Add a number of vendor prefixes by kirkwood devices. These are not
    all stock tickers, but have been in use for a while so changing
    would not be easy.

We have the problem that we have DTs in the field making use of these
vendor prefixes. They have effectively become part of the ABI. We have
to support them. Even if we do change to stock tickers, we still need
to support the old vendor prefix as well. So since it is just a rule
of thumb to use the stock ticker, not a strict rule, i've kept with
what we have.

     Andrew
