No, I want new files. Look:
1. Some time ago tegra-1.h was added.
2. Someone spotted that there was tegra-1.h, so added now tegra-2.h.
3. Now this is a pattern so of course next person, even if asked to use
vendor prefix, will not, right? Because it would break the pattern. So
we have tegra-3.h
4. tegra.4 - no vendor prefix, because you have already three cases.
5. You see where I am going?
All of above - amlogic, mediatek, samsung, qcom - had decade of such
convention. I asked to changed, they used the same argument as you
("decade") and then changed.
Why this is different case than decade in amlogic, mediatek, samsung and
qcom?
Best regards,
Krzysztof
