I have a question about the naming of this SoC. On Freescale's website, it is
VF6xx everywhere, but you add a leading M (_M_VF600). Is it because you are
using an internal SoC name known only by Freescale and different from the
marketing SoC name, or is this M from the part number, or will the marketing SoC
name change later, or some other reason? Please clarify. U-Boot users must be
able to identify a SoC and to find information about it easily.
