Most likely you will not be able to use a fixup just like the neufbox4 because 
that one still contains a valid identifier somewhere on the flash. 

I guess the only solution we have is to pass some informations to the kernel 
in the imagetag format. You might want to use one of the unused imagetag fields 
in struct bcm_tag such as information1 to pass informations to the kernel and 
set it to your model. It should not break other boards so this is an 
acceptable solution to me.

To be frank, I would like to avoid using the MIPS machine infrastructure as 
long as we can to keep the changes between upstream and openwrt minimal.

Tell me if you need help implementing this.
