we had this discussion during addition of devicetree support to paz00 in the 
linux kernel already. The balance tended more into the direction of Compal, 
because 1) there exist two machines with different names with this board 
(Toshiba AC100 and Dynabook AZ) and 2) Toshibas/Dynabooks code name seems to 
be "Procyon" while paz00 is the code name at Compal. Having compal/paz00 in 
the kernel and Toshiba/procyon in u-boot would just add confusion and renaming 
everything is maybe not worth the effort (Toshiba/paz00 is totaly wrong).
