Per documentation of RISC-V toolchain's vendor prefix convention[1], I'd suggest to name it as
IH_TYPE_SMTIMAGE, "smtimage", "SpacemiT Boot Image", vendor pick "AIHD" as magnic number but
has no speficial meaning, while using "smt" as the prefix would be better to recognize
the format
Plus you may also need to adapt the commit message and code accordingly..
