I know it's the ticker, but the point was - we don't use tickers here for none of other platforms. Mentioned grep brings only one result: arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/pic.c: * cases where the APPL,interrupts property is completely so hardly an argument for backwards consistency, within the kernel. On the other hand, some DTs for iPhones mention "apple", not APPL: https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/D211AP/Device_Tree https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/D331AP/Device_Tree https://gist.github.com/bazad/1faef1a6fe396b820a43170b43e38be1 Although I am not sure how reliable are the sources. > It comes from the the ticker symbol > which early on was the preferred form, but we've tended to move away > from that.

Hectore mention old PowerPC Apple sources were using the APPL, but it seems they did not end up here. What would be the point to stick to the old prefix if we cannot find it? Maybe they exists in other systems? I could not find such in latest FreeBSD, but there were not many DTSes inside. Best regards, Krzysztof
