It's not a marketing/acquistion rename as the name of these SoCs were
wrong from the get go. The information on the first sentence is to give
the idea of why these SoCs were wrongfully named as the base platform
that these new MediaTek SoCs share code with was called Ralink.

Ok this is a point I see now. Though, I fail to see how this is called
renaming when there's only new SoCs (from NXP in this case) to be added.
