PATCH 4/8 mxsboot: stop referring to i.MX28 as this ought to work for all i.MXS SoCs

But I haven't seen "i.MXS" used before, and to me it makes no sense as it mixes unrelated name spaces.

Please either use the Freescale name(s), or use "mxs".

It seems you are supporting my argument? Because the "i.MXS" I see documented there appears to have very little in common with, for example, i.MX28: "The processor features an ARM920T? core operating at 100 MHz"... ?

Or look at the "Parametrics" section:

- Not Recommended for New Design
- No Longer Manufactured

"i.MXS" is definitely a bad choice of name for what you have in mind.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
