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.
