bcm has been used internally but not consistently - about as
consistently as brcm has been used in upstream :) Given that I've
submitted most/all of the non-compliant code, I'll send a patch
rectifying it and request internal team to switch to using brcm, for
devicetree bindings, as atonement. If Matt doesn't beat me to it...
