You are right it is the board name but not a IP/SoC name. It seems this device is weird to kernel developers - you are not the first one asking. You don't have to see the term board as in kernel sense where it describes a specific SoC and the components connected to it. It is a circuit board, that connects to usb on one side and GPIO, I?C and so on on the other side.
