FWIW, here's the commit message from the Linux kernel commit that I've
queued up for P2371:

	arm64: tegra: Add NVIDIA P2371 support

	The NVIDIA P2371 is an internal reference design that uses a P2530
	compute module hooked up to a P2595 base board and an optional display
	module for a 1200x1920 MIPI DSI panel.

and here's the one for P2595:

	arm64: tegra: Add NVIDIA P2595 base board support

	The NVIDIA P2595 base board is used in several reference designs and
	provides the connectors to connect the P2530 compute module to the
	outside world. It features a USB 3.0 network adapter, a USB 3.0 port,
	an HDMI port, a SATA port, an audio codec, a microSD card slot and a
	display connector, among others.

and finally for P2530:

	arm64: tegra: Add NVIDIA P2530 compute module support

	The NVIDIA P2530 is a compute module used in several reference designs.
	It features a Tegra210 SoC, 4 GiB of LPDDR4 RAM, 16 GiB eMMC and various
	other essentials. It is typically connected to some base board that
	provides the connectors needed to hook it up to the outside world.

This doesn't go into a lot of detail, but I think it's nice to give
people some amount of information about what kind of board this is. It
shows the capabilities, which I think is vital if we want people to
actually use Tegra. With this kind of information people may actually
start being interested in the device. If we don't have any information
at all, people are likely going to ignore the board.
