Do we need to add a vendor specific prefix always or is it needed only specific cases? I know the intent here is to avoid name space collision. But by name space I assume, within a specific a device binding. For example where device driver has a core framework that also uses DT properties, any low level device driver using the framework needs to add a vendor specific prefix to avoid collision. Is my understanding correct? So standalone device drivers doesn't have to use prefix?
