CPU models are not typically prefixed with "LS", so "Loongson
3A4000/3A5000/3A6000".
Here is because when you do programming, variable name should prefix
with letters.
Commit messages, comments, and log messages etc. are natural language,
so it's better to treat them differently. No problem to keep code
as-is IMO.
Then you get two name for a single chip, take LS7A1000 as an example.
You name it as Loongson 7A1000 in commit message, and then you have to
define another name in the code, say LS7A1000.
"Loongson 7A1000" is too long, not as compact as LS7A1000.
This also avoid bind the company name to a specific product, because a
company can produce many product.
Nah, the existing convention is "LS7Xxxxx" for bridges and "Loongson
3Axxxx" for CPUs (SoCs like 2K fall under this category too). It's
better to stick with existing practice so it would be familiar to
long-time Loongson/LoongArch developers, but I personally don't think it
will hamper understanding if you feel like doing otherwise.
