No.

We've seen [1] for instance that 6061 and 6065 are both part of the 6065
family, but 6061 has 16 databases while 6065 has 64 databases.

I'm not even sure every Marvell switch has a family. I think we really
want a table of supported *devices*.

To go further, with the coming feature-based logic, checking the family
might not even be that valuable.
