Dear coreboot folks,

following up on Ron’s comment to Gerrit item(?) 2695 [1]

We can't break out each and every vendor TLA (Three Letter
Acronym) or we'll be here for years. I understand the possible
confusion, but at the same time, there are terms of the art that
we just use, ULT, PCI, DMA, HT, PNP, I2C, being some of them.
It's a dreadful learning curve, but we all get to climb it :-)

I propose the following rule (suggestion, guideline) for usage of
abbreviations in commit messages and code.

Programming at the low-level in firmware and drivers often means turning datasheets into functional code, so it is important to use acronyms, mnemonics, and other terminology consistent with vendor-provided documentation. Otherwise searching for a particular value, register name, etc. can be very frustrating.

PDF readers are a few years behind Google in terms of contextual search ;-)
