I've thought about this too. One thing I considered was not using
mstar or sstar at all
and doing the same thing as sunxi and using either the "chenxing"
(MorningStar, MStar) or "xingchen" (SigmaStar)
moniker instead.
However, there are lots of kernel dumps from MStar based TVs etc in
the wild already that are using the mstar
prefix so just continuing to use that seems like the right thing to do.

Thanks,

Daniel
