You probably used git-show rather than git-format-patch, so you got the wrong headers. It would also be helpful to describe why the specific string is used here. Normally we use the stock ticker symbol and "wmt" refers to Wal-Mart, which would be unlikely but not impossible to produce their own hardware in the future. The same thing applies to "via", which is VIACOM. The symbol for VIA technologies is "2388.TW", but that is not particularly descriptive or well-known. Maybe someone on the devicetree-discuss mailing list has a better suggestion. I think using "via" is probably the best compromise, as it's a well-known name and most of the components of the wondermedia chips were first made by VIA anyway.
