:/

Omitting the qcom- prefix for .dts files is kind of broken. On ARM32,
the vendor subdirectories only exist inside the kernel source. When
installing the dtbs they are still placed in a single directory. This
means there would be a risk of naming conflicts (granted, very
unlikely). More importantly however, it makes it more difficult to find
the DTBs belonging to a certain vendor... :/

IMHO the naming convention for ARM32 DTBs should just have been
preserved the way it was before, but well that's how it is now I
suppose.
