commit ae8c4209af2cec065fef15d200a42a04130799f7
Author: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 19 15:34:43 2012 -0700

    of: Add vendor prefix for Asahi Kasei Corp.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
