It's not just about printing. If we want to be consistent, we would
have to stick with a single naming scheme. So that would mean also
fixing up the source code of linux/uboot, the configuration files, the

If you want to spend time doing so, great. But I have no intention to
follow you down this road.

As far as I know, it's indeed on the package. But the package might
not be visible, due to an heatsink for example.
