There is general convention, but there are also:
1) common sense;
2) usage in practice (e.g. _US, etc for *seconds and _HZ for *frequency).

My common sense tells me that it is convenient to use mA,uA, etc.
Plus "in practice" it's related to use as in your series and elsewhere.

But of course it's minor to me, decide yourself.

No. I'm talking from the Linux APIs perspective. There is a huge
difference between those branches. Please, conduct research, read
documentation to understand what my question is about.
