That feels weird. This amba_vendor enum is not under control of the DT author, nor the kernel. This is a set of codes that are managed by a third party (probably ARM). What if some company with a name starting with 'H' (Hilarious Inc?) comes up with some actual HW and ends up conflicting with the above?
Presumably, HiSilicon have their own vendor code already, which presumably would be required for them to have a license to modify ARM IP. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 10.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
