I got two more examples:

- Device names are different between sunxi u-boot and mainline u-boot
- I recently made an error in a commit because the LIME2 board in U-Boot is 
named A20-OLinuXino_Lime2 where the LIME board is named A20-OLinuXino-Lime 
(<- notice different dashes: _ vs - )

It would be really nice to be consistent but there is always the problem to 
break backwards compatibility when people already use the old names.
