From: Kuninori Morimoto <kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com>

Current vendor-prefixes.txt already has
"ak" prefix for Asahi Kasei Corp by
ae8c4209af2cec065fef15d200a42a04130799f7
(of: Add vendor prefix for Asahi Kasei Corp.)

It went through the appropriate review process,
and is already in use.
But, almost all Asahi Kasei chip driver is
using "asahi-kasei" prefix today.

Due to ABIness, this patch adds
"asahi-kasei" to vendor-prefixes.txt.
checkpatch.pl will report WARNING without this patch.
(DT compatible string vendor "asahi-kasei" appears un-documented)

OTOH, Asahi Kasei is usually referred as "AKM",
but this patch doesn't care about it.
Because no DT is using it today.

I'm fine with this patch, but just wanted to comment on this part of the
commit description:

What is in the drivers isn't relevant; that's not what drives the ABI.
The issue is that some *DTs* use ak and some use asahi-kasei, so both
those need to be supported.

That said, we should document which one of the two prefixes is
preferred, and use this for any new AK binding.

It would also be nice to ensure the preferred prefix is in all drivers'
of_match_tables, and remove the deprecated prefix from all drivers'
of_match_tables *except* where there's already a DT file that references
the deprecated vendor prefix.
