Sorry to jump in on this late, but what on earth is wrong with "ak". It
went through the appropriate review process, and is already in use.
Admittedly only in a single ARM DT file, but it's still in use. We'll
have to allow the ak prefix forever given that DT is an ABI, so rather
than introducing more random variations, we should just stick with what
we have.
