+ * @brief Get the vendor at index "idx" as a string literal
+ *
+ * The vendor is a string extracted from vendor prefixes if an entry exists
+ * that matches the node's compatible prefix. There may be as many as one
+ * vendor prefixes file per directory in DTS_ROOT.
+ *
+ * Example vendor-prefixes.txt:
+ *
+ *	vnd	A stand-in for a real vendor
+ *	zephyr	Zephyr-specific binding
+ *
+ * Example devicetree fragment:
+ *
+ *	n1: node-1 {
+ *		compatible = "vnd,model1", "gpio", "zephyr,model2";
+ *	};
+ *
+ * Example usage:
+ *
+ *	DT_NODE_VENDOR_BY_IDX(DT_NODELABEL(n1), 0) // "A stand-in for a real vendor"
+ *	DT_NODE_VENDOR_BY_IDX(DT_NODELABEL(n1), 2) // "Zephyr-specific binding"
+ *
+ * Notice that the compatible at index 1 doesn't match any entries in the
+ * vendor prefix file and therefore index 1 is not a valid vendor index. Use
+ * DT_NODE_VENDOR_HAS_IDX(node_id, idx) to determine if an index is valid.
