Have you thought about using the "bflb" abbreviation as the vendor
prefix, like you use throughout the driver code? This would save quite
some space in the DTB, and seems to be the most common variant seen in
the vendor SDK:

bouffalo_sdk$ git grep -i bflb | wc -l
14364
bouffalo_sdk$ git grep -i bouffalo | wc -l
1042
bouffalo_sdk$ git grep -i bouffalolab | wc -l
179

So that is what we were using for bringing up Linux and U-Boot over at
https://github.com/openbouffalo.

On the other hand, "bouffalolab" is certainly accurate as well, so I
understand if you prefer it. And we will of course adapt to whatever
gets merged, since our goal is upstreaming.

The vendor code drop[1] provided only one example, "bflb-uart,uart0",
which is not very helpful. Maybe you have received further information
from them?

What do you think?

Regards,
Samuel
