agreed

AFAIK there are no hard rules for everything, my suggestion would be:

- use WCN399x
  - for general comments/documentation
  - commit messages
  - in DT context wcn3998-n seems ok
- use wcn399x
  - for function and variable names
  - for compatible strings

For logging: whatever, just be consistent.

If the variants have relevant differences between them (like different
regulator requirements) I think you want unique names, rather than
'wcn399x' (I was referring to comments/documentation with this
string).

If there are variants wouldn't your first 'wcn3998' already be a
'wcn3998-n'? If 'wcn3998' without suffix is used I think it needs to
be valid for all 'wcn3998-n' variants (it might be less
power-efficient though than using the variant specific compatible
string), otherwise things get confusing (a 'wcn3998-2' isn't a
'wcn3998'?)

Thanks

Matthias
