It's not an existing convention, it's a mistake some people made ;-)

That's not a "previously defined convention", it's the defined
rules in the OF standard.  Conventions are examples that are nice
to follow if there's no real reason to choose either way; standards
are things that if you break them, people shout out you.

Let me say this again: it is *fine* if you use some lower-case name.
In that case though, "marvell" is slightly better than "mrvl", and
you had the former already, so just keep it :-)

Agreed?  Ca we move on now?  :-)
