They're usually referred to as AKM when abbreviated and their web site
is http://www.akm.com/ - don't know what the stock ticker symbol is.  In
any case there's no real cost to adding both abbreviated and
non-abbreviated forms if we want to transition.

    Their stock ticker is 3407.T which wouldn't make a good DT vendor
    prefix. Use the company name initials instead.

Sounds like akm, is a better bet then, especially as ak, has no real
adoption.  

I think the bikeshed would be much better painted pink with yellow spots :)

Sorry to jump in on this late, but what on earth is wrong with "ak". It
went through the appropriate review process, and is already in use.
Admittedly only in a single ARM DT file, but it's still in use. We'll
have to allow the ak prefix forever given that DT is an ABI, so rather
than introducing more random variations, we should just stick with what
we have.
