Not really.

I really don't know what's the policy to apply in such a case when we
have a device that has no identified vendor.

We need to give a vendor name, because the compatible is used to tell
two devices apart, in the case where we would have to apply quirks for
a particular devices.

And if we have two devices (say a Marvlell and an Allwinner one), with
the same name, and without any vendor, we're screwed.

Maybe falling back to the SoC vendor, in our case, would make sense?

Arnd? Rob? Mark? An opinion on this?

Thanks,
Maxime
