Subject: RE: [PATCH 00/31] Introduced new Cadence USBSSP DRD Driver

Hi,

USBSSP it's the project name and it was the reason for such prefix.

I agree with you that the shorter prefix could be better and we could get rid of some warnings reported by checkpatch. Currently we have more important issues related to testing and debugging driver so decision about change I leave for the feature.   Such modification could be made as separate single patch. 

Cheers,
Pawel
