All of them, in fact. MSM7201 and MSM7601 are identical as far as Linux is concerned. Same goes for MSM8250 and MSM8650. Our dev boards are a somewhat random mix of the two, and it doesn't matter which one you use. MSM8960 is a completely different chip, it just shares a similar name, to other chips.
