There is no kernel wide guideline about the format of subsystem prefix
in the patch subject. Different subsystems have their own
preferrences.  Soc is not considered as a separate subsystem, so we
followed the convention of the architectural subsystem that we merge
patches through.  Since we normally get soc patches through the
arm-soc tree right now, I think it would be better to follow the
convention of arm-soc to make them not looking too different in the
arm-soc pull requests.  Not sure how sensetive ARM-SOC maintainers
feel about this though.
