At least what we'd decided a year or two ago was to call _everything_ with an msm* prefix. If marketing comes up with cute prefixes for things, we would basically ignore them. So, under that, it should be an msm8074-dragonboard. Admittedly, it might be a little confusing with the name of the product having the apq in it, but as others have pointed out, I think there is less confusing than not having a common prefix on our MSM products.
At least so far, there are no chips where apq vs msm actually distinguishes anything. In fact, a simple "decoder ring" would point out that the 'apq' usually corresponds with the second digit being a zero. It doesn't help that we've added an 'mpq' prefix as well.
I don't really see how to satisfy all of this other than qcom-apq*, or just continue to use msm*.
