Re: Re: [PATCH 1/3] devicetree: add vendor prefix for Khadas

Hi, Martin & Rob:
Regarding Khadas and Wesion, we tend to keep them relatively independent, and as the commit on vendor-prefixes.txt, both following is okay:
+khadas Khadas
+khadas Khadas.com

We have corrected the misspellings of our company name on our website
 from:
    Shenzhen Wesion Technology CO.,LTD.
 to:
    Shenzhen Wesion Technology Co., Ltd.

Sorry for the trouble we made.



Something a little different~

Shouldn't the entry reflect what is in the commit message rather than
just repeat the prefix? I.e., something like "Khadas by Shenzhen Wesion
Technology Co., Ltd." (which I believe is the official spelling and
spacing of these abbreviations also for the commit message).

I took the spelling for "Shenzhen Wesion Technology CO.,LTD." from
their website: [0]
 

An Acked-by from the CC'ed vendor would also be desirable. :)

I asked Gouwa, one of the people behind the Khadas VIM boards for
clarification some time ago:
"Khadas is a new brand power by Shenzhen Wesion Technology, 'Khadas'
is brand, 'VIM' is product serial name, like 'Apple + iPhone'"
I think I used the vendor-prefixes "pine64" and "radxa" as reference
(see [1]) when I wrote the patch - and none of the existing entries
seems to follow the "brand by parent company" schema.
 
@Gouwa, Rob: could you please share your opinion on what the official
"vendor" name for the "khadas" prefix should be?
 
 
Regards,
Martin
