Current vendor-prefixes.txt already has "ak" prefix for Asahi Kasei Corp by ae8c4209af2cec065fef15d200a42a04130799f7 (of: Add vendor prefix for Asahi Kasei Corp.)
It went through the appropriate review process, and is already in use. But, almost all Asahi Kasei chip driver is using "asahi-kasei" prefix today.
I'm fine with this patch, but just wanted to comment on this part of the commit description:
What is in the drivers isn't relevant; that's not what drives the ABI. The issue is that some *DTs* use ak and some use asahi-kasei, so both those need to be supported.
That said, we should document which one of the two prefixes is preferred, and use this for any new AK binding.
It would also be nice to ensure the preferred prefix is in all drivers' of_match_tables, and remove the deprecated prefix from all drivers' of_match_tables *except* where there's already a DT file that references the deprecated vendor prefix.
