Do you have an exact status of the different platform device support ?

Do you know the differences between the different versions and/or have public specs of the SoCs ? Also, I'm seeing a lot of rtd128x in the file names... Commercial name for the Venus is rtd1261 for instance. I find this really confusing. I would be tempted to use mach-realtek but I don't know enough the realtek mips SoCs to say if it's a good idea.
