Yep, it is common practice. Long time ago, I met the same problem on
how to present micro-ampere:
visibility vs coding practice. At that time, I followed the coding
practice. So, was there anyone who
rejected this decision to mix upper and lower letters when you gave
your comment last July?
If there is no objection, or most of maintainers and long-term
contributors agree with that,
I am ok with that.

To Tovalds, Andrew, Joe, Julia, Krzysztof,

I just need your feedback on coding styles. Are you ok with mixing
upper and lower letters for visibility
to present micro-seconds or micro-ampere? Andy (one of very-active
contributors) gives his opinion that
mixing upper and lower letters can be acceptable. I remain neutral on
this coding style issue.

e.g., #define MT6370_ITORCH_DOUBLE_MAX_uA 800000

Thank you.
