IEEE1275 actually explicitly gives the convention on p164, in the
context of the "name" property. The vendor string can either be all
uppercase, in which case it must be a stock ticker symbol ("AAPL" is
seen in the wild, for example), or it can be another string with no
uppercase.

I'm sure some intel peripheral chips must have been used on existing
OF platforms at various points. It might be worth seeking those out
and double checking what was used in those cases.
