     It's true that people who wants to develop in the kernel should 
know the technical detail  as much as possible.
But I still thinks it's a good thing if we can write code more clearly 
to  let people know what it stands for at first sight.

     Anyway, very glad to see you think the pin definition is helpful, 
so let's move on.
I'll send a new version with the prefix as your suggested  like 
RK_PA/B/C/Dx.

     Thanks.
