We want some consistency here. From a quick grep, it looks like the only use of "ak" is "ak,ak8975" in arch/arm/boot/dts/tegra20-seaboard.dts. There are instances of "asahi-kasei,ak8975" in other dts files. Olof added "asahi-kasei,ak8975" to the ak8975 driver in February 2012 (see 54461c3067b2), and the "asahi-kasei" prefix is currently far more common. This was only documented in May 2013 (see f4b7f751c6fd). Stephen added the "ak" vendor-refix was added later in November 2012 (see ae8c4209af2c), and the only instance seems to work due to the i2c subsystem doing something dehind the scenes with the compatible string. So I think we made a mistake there. Given all that, I think we should get rid of the "ak" prefix entirely, fix up the seaboard dts, and leave the legacy matching for "ak,ak8975" up to the i2c framework. However, that would imply deleting from vendor-prefixes.txt (if we want people to be warned on use of "ak"), and that's not a good precedent to set. Thoughts?

Instead of deleting, we can deprecate, like was done for powervr: powervr PowerVR (deprecated, use img) Still missing is an update for checkpatch to warn when a deprecated vendor prefix is used.

Marking it deprecated and warning with checkpatch is certainly preferable.

I guess removing "ak" line from vendor-prefixes.txt is very enough for warn for a deprecated vendor prefix on checkpatch ? ... - ak Asahi Kasei Corp. ... + asahi-kasei Asahi Kasei Corp.

Hi Joe, I think that what Morimoto-san wanted to say was something like this: I guess that removing the "ak" line from vendor-prefixes.txt would be sufficient to cause checkpatch to generate a warning about using the deprecated "ak" vendor prefix.

It'd be a bit nicer to be able to leave it there with a note saying it was legacy (if only so people don't try to add it back) but I don't mind too much.
