You probably used git-show<br>rather than git-format-patch, so you got the wrong headers.<br><br>It would also be helpful to describe why the specific string is used here.<br>Normally we use the stock ticker symbol and "wmt" refers to Wal-Mart,<br>which would be unlikely but not impossible to produce their own hardware<br>in the future. The same thing applies to "via", which is VIACOM. The symbol<br>for VIA technologies is "2388.TW", but that is not particularly descriptive<br>or
well-known.<br><br>Maybe someone on the devicetree-discuss mailing list has a better<br>suggestion. I think using "via" is probably the best compromise, as<br>it's a well-known name and most of the components of the wondermedia<br>chips were first made by VIA anyway.<br><br> Arnd<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>linux-arm-kernel mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org" href="mailto:linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org">linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel" target="_blank">http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel</a><br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
