I do not recall a preference for stock ticker names, but perhaps I missed something? My only concern here is that "pc" may get abused elsewhere in bindings as a prefix, and may lead to general confusion due to other meanings for "pc". As "panasonic" is clear to any reader without looking in vendor-prefixes.txt, and there are no panasonic device bidnings using "pc" as a prefix, I think that "panasonic" is preferable as a vendor prefix.
