Will do.

arch/arm/boot/dts/ is getting really crowded. It's been working best if the SoC
family or vendor is used as a prefix to keep things a bit more organized. In
that spirit, prefixing these with msm-<foo> makes sense. Can you please do so?
Sure. But the board is called an APQ8074 and we wanted to keep the naming consistent with that.
If we do this we should use qcom, not msm as the prefix. Match the device tree vendor prefix.

Coming back to this, it would be better if the naming to be consistent with what we call our ARCH - msm and not qcom.
msm8974-dragonboard signifies quite clearly what the board is.
