ok, that is what you meant, understood. It is only that value is not
exactly what we read from DIGIPROG register. The title and commit
message let me think that "the cpu type " is dummy, that is it does not
exist, while the CPU-ID is only built with a formula instead of getting
the value from the register.

IMHO it was enough you simply say "add CPU type for 6QP/DP", dropping
the first part of the commit message that is misleading.

This is ok, agree.

ok, thanks - this is clear now.

yes, it is ok. I was missing that even major_lower = 1 is a Plus. Fine
with me.

ok

Apart interpretation of the commit message, patch is ok for me.
