Per request, an updated submittal with a brief description of each name. A spec.txt is now also in place with this information.
--------------- I am sponsoring this case on behalf of Scott Davenport. This case seeks patch binding for a Solaris 10 Update release. The case introduces some new canonical hardware component names. As the case is a straight-forward addition of canonical names and is part of an approved FMA portfolio, I believe the case qualifies for self review and have filed it as Closed Approved Automatic. Please let me know if there is any disagreement and I will convert the case to an open fast-track.
