Each preference is different and you and me are different unfortunately.

I don't care minor issues I'm more focus on the logic.

What's the matter mfc or mfc5 and so on? some time later these names
are changed if new mfc are introduced.
Currently we're use the mfc version 5.

Do you have any rules on samsung soc variable, module naming? I think
it depends on each case by case.

Thank you,
