We've had some of this discussion recently:
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20151118194340.GF140057@google.com
I don't think we can reasonably determine a good list of complete
strings, due to historical failures (IMO) in the SPI subsystem. We could
add a separate list of possible manufacturers, so people can do the MxN
pairing themselves.
checkpatch.pl has enough false positives that its author doesn't care to
fix that I'm not personally worried about yet another class of them. But
if you have good reasons and good patches for the documentation, I'm all
ears.

Brian
