Not sure, I have not had access to the original freescale authored
kernel driver for sometime so I'm not sure what info is embedded
there.

My naming came from the Redboot sources which were authored by
Freescaler's.  Also the numbering is consistent with what I recall
from my days there.

Perhaps someone still at Freescale and in the i.mx group will chime in.  Fred?
