In general I think it's better to report parameter values directly,
instead of inferring them from manufacturer and part numbers. That way
you at least have a fighting chance of avoiding a kernel upgrade when a
part changes.
Of course, that only works when the device tree is exported from the
boot firmware instead of having to carry the device tree inside the kernel.
