Dear Kernel Maintainers,

I have observed, that on our SBC's the GPU turbo mode doesn't work. This 
happens only to those with embedded Arrandale (1288 FCBGA package) standard 
voltage (35W) CPU's. These CPU's do not have there an letter whereas the Mobile 
CPU has an M. So there seems to be a need to update the intel_ips.c in order to 
recognize the CPU's with  brand strings 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         610  
@ 2.53GHz' and  'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU         520  @ 2.40GHz'. I have 
prepared therefor following patch:
