In a recent patch, checkpatch gave this warning.

WARNING: Avoid CamelCase: <tty->SAK_work>
#35: FILE: drivers/tty/tty_io.c:1475:
+	flush_work(&tty->SAK_work);


'SAK' is the acronym for 'Secure Attention Key'. Identifiers which
relate to SAK handling have the above form; eg.,
  do_SAK()
  SAK_work
  do_SAK_work
  fn_SAK
  vc_SAK
  sysrq_handle_SAK

I didn't bother to mention it before, but since your addressing mm
CamelCase exceptions, perhaps

  xxxx_XXXX
  xx_XXX_xxx
  XXX_xxx

could be exceptions as well?
