It seems upstream linux may be adopting the BCM2711 naming convention [1], though it doesn't look like the series [1] has been committed yet. The SoC name in documentation is BCM2711 [2]. I have no opinion on which naming convention the QEMU community adopts, I simply wanted to pass along this observation.
