For everything that's not user-visible. The machine database entry is:

1304  	FIC Neo1973v2  	neo1973_gta02  	Harald Welte  	- unknown -

Adding FreeRunner will make it more confusing. Most kernel code I've seen is 
using the actual device codenames, not the marketing names, since the latter 
are prone to change or even mislead.
