Right now, they all claim to be the same keystone SoC -> which is
inaccurate at the very least, and downright wrong IMHO since k2e/hk and
l are different SoCs - even though they belong to keystone family, they
are as similar as OMAP4 is to OMAP5 is to DRA7. This is similar to how
various other SoCs distinguish between SoCs as well.
