[PATCH]: R52x0 -> RM52xx

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 426 bytes --]

Attached is a minor cosmetic patch for 2.6 that just changes menuconfig to 
show the RM52xx CPU by the name it's known by on Systems that use it (Cobalt 
(RM5231), O2 RM5200).

It's a really minor thing, but afaict, it doesn't look to be incorrect.

The CPU core is originally a QED (today PMC-Sierra) core but there are
licenses are selling it too such as IDT.  I'm not sure if all of them
are using the RM prefix or not but I usually stick to whatever the
original name was.

FWIW (not much) there was an RM5230, RM5260, RM5231 and RM5261 -
pretty much the same from a software point of view (the '3' and '6'
stand for the external bus width 32- vs 64-bit).  There was an RM5270,
too, to which you could bolt an external L2 cache.  So RM52xx is
really quite a good name...
