You are not supposed to mess with exsiting boards.  Please create your
own board config instead.

Is this an officially registered machine type?  I can't find it.

You are not supposed to do that. Please register your board at the ARM
machine registry, and when the ID has become available in the Linux
tree, then submit an update request for mach-types.h here.

Please register your board.
