but when you look at the drivers using this is_mx6ull() macro, then you'll
find already a bunch of other is_mx...() macros used in addition. Then it
would also be possible to add the is_mx6ulz() one - it won't make the
situation worse at these points.
In my eyes, this is better than hiding two CPUs behind one macro.

Thanks,
Michael
