I am sorry, that I forgot the CC.
You are right it is the board name but not a IP/SoC name. It seems this
device is weird to kernel developers - you are not the first one asking. You
don't have to see the term board as in kernel sense where it describes a
specific SoC and the components connected to it. It is a circuit board, that
connects to usb on one side and GPIO, I²C and so on on the other side. You
can have a look at it here:
