I guess the same applies for some of the RasbPi boards which can run
either as 32-bit armv7 (bcm270x) or 64-bit aarch64 (bcm271x).

In that case it's also even a bit more tricky as the best would be to
add "(32-bit)" and "(64-bit)" to the device labels as the naming-scheme
of bcm chips might not be known by all users...
