If plain "chungwa" is too generic (could you > expand upon that?), would "chungwapt" be better? Well, there are Chunghwa Post and Chunghwa Telecom. I guess none of these make devices that would ever need to be represented in a device tree, but you never know. I'm having some trouble understanding the criteria on how to choose a good vendor prefix. As I mentioned in another subthread I remember some discussion that concluded that the stock symbol should be used if one existed. That's not the case for Chunghwa so I looked for some sort of specific abbreviation. cptt is what Chunghwa Picture Tubes uses for their website (http://www.cptt.com.tw) and seemed like a good fit. If something mnemonic is preferred, perhaps we should just go with plain "chunghwa". If it turns out that the newspaper or telecom company ever do ship a product that needs a device tree representation we can always come up with a variant then.
