Samsung SoCs naming rules

Dear all,

Now Samsung SoCs doesn't have any special rules include chip name.

Historically s5pc100 is successor form s3c6410 and this chip from
s3c2410 series.
on the other hand, s5pc110 (cortex a8) and s5pc64xx (armv6) is
different from previous chips.

So it's not good idea grouping with the prefix. e.g., s5p series. and
the reason to create the samsung.

we tried to find a common name several times but failed to get proper
name, I hope community give good name rules.

Thank you,
Kyungmin Park
