[PATCH] m68k/mac: Revise PowerBook 500 series model name
Posted by Finn Thain 1 year, 5 months ago
The PowerBook 520, 540 and 550 all have macintosh_config->ident == 72
because that's their gestalt ID in MacOS. Hence, Linux describes them all
as "Powerbook 520". Change that to "Powerbook 500 series", which is more
accurate.

This is a user-visible change, through /proc/hardware.
Do you know if any userspace relies on the old string value?

I did a search on sources.debian.org and didn't find anything. OTOH, a 
search for "powerbook" doesn't actually return Michael's packages that 
used to be available for powerbooks...

Anyway, I agree that /proc/hardware should remain stable, so please 
disregard this patch.
