Yes, its a PXA270 M. There is a spec. update pdf from Marvel.
http://www.marvell.com/application-processors/pxa-family/assets/pxa_27x_spec_update.pdf - Table 2-3.

They changed the Stepping from A0...C5 to "PXA270M -- A1"
A colleague would support me to change this becouse i have no cloue about writing C Files.
So we would like ask you first if the right CPU Name should be shown in the summary screen which would be a rewrite of your function or only the right stepping with the old CPU Name would be enough ? (Damn it - hope you understand my Denglish)

Thank you for the files where we can look up.
