- Rename Sinovoip BPI defconfigs to use small letter
- To avoid naming conflict with 'LeMaker' add sinovoip prefix to BPI M2 Ultra defconfig since bananapi is also name used by 'LeMaker'
- Add 'SINOVOIP' prefix 'BANANAPI M2 ULTRA BOARD' under board/sunxi/MAINTAINERS file.
No. The proper solution is to just get rid of the Sinovoip and LeMaker bullshit. The brand name has been and will continue to be "Banana Pi". Apart from the trademark legal drama between LeMaker, Sinovoip, and Foxconn, the boards are now consistently named "BPI-xyz". The original "Banana Pi" is now the "BPI-M1". The only incompatible outlier is the LeMaker made BananaPro.
But there is one board Bananapi_defconfig which is from LeMaker, which will conflict if we skip these and use binanapi for rest.
LeMaker and Sinovoip are distributors. Maybe they manufacture(d) as well, but I'm not so sure.
Also, see https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg176001.html
Note that "BIPAI KEJI LIMITED" is just a translation for BPI Technologies limited. BIPAI is the phonetics for B-PI in English. KEJI is the phonetics for "technology" in Chinese.
Thanks for the info.
Finally, is there a preference for all lowercase defconfig file names?
Yes, for newly supported and/or longer stable defconfigs/boards follow lower-case defconfig file names in U-Boot.
thanks!
