An additional piece of guidance, please wrap lines in your emails.

Additionally, we have informed all our customers to upgrade to the new hardware. However, I appreciate your explanation and will mark the old prefix as deprecated instead of removing it.

grepping the tree disagrees with yout, there's a board still in the
tree.

The reason for this change is that we’ve developed a DRM driver, and the platform device in the driver uses a compatible string referring to the device tree. Without a vendor prefix, I’m unable to upstream the DRM driver because it lacks a valid compatible string.

A new company can have a new prefix, this patch adding it should come
with the drm device binding that uses it.
