I would make this one 'amazon' if we go with current manufacturers.

nspire is the name of the end-user product, so that doesn't quite
fit. The SoC was apparently an LSI logic Zevio, which is now owned
by Broadcom.

While berlin is related to pxa/mmp, this one is now owned
by Synaptics, and the 64-bit versions are already in the
synaptics subdir, so I'd go with teh same here.

airoha is a separate company now, but the hardware is still
shared with mediatek, so we could consider lumping it into
that subdir, but a separate one may be better long-term.

This one is also a product name, not a company. Apparently,
gemini was originally made by Storm Semiconductor, and then
by Cortina, which was subsequently acquired by Inphi, and that ended
up in Marvell after the product was already discontinued.

Out of the four, I'd probably go with 'cortina' as the
directory name.

I would put all five of these into 'st'. The ux500 was developed
in st-ericsson, but last sold by st, and the other ones are all
original st products.
