Samsung SoCs naming rules

I agree eric,also TI OMAP naming is a good example,you can use
s3c-armv6,s3c-armv7 ?just make people clear of ARM instruction version?

Dear all,

Now Samsung SoCs doesn't have any special rules include chip name.

Historically s5pc100 is successor form s3c6410 and this chip from
s3c2410 series.
on the other hand, s5pc110 (cortex a8) and s5pc64xx (armv6) is
different from previous chips.

Don't be shy, Samsung is not the only vendor messes the naming of their
SoCs. Marvell might have done a better job on this :-)

So it's not good idea grouping with the prefix. e.g., s5p series. and
the reason to create the samsung.

My guess is your s5p will focus more on Cortex-A8 (or A9 possibly),
even with subsequent processors. And only s5pc100 is an exception,
that's fine, you can still put s5pc100 into mach-s3c6410, and people
will know it's actually closer to s3c6410. And other SoCs will share the
common s5p prefix.

we tried to find a common name several times but failed to get proper
name, I hope community give good name rules.
