I did this choice based on Ray's e-mail where he said it's SoC sharing peripherals with iProc ones: On 10 August 2016 at 19:44, Ray Jui <ray.jui@broadcom.com> wrote: > Out of curiosity, I searched the datasheet and found this is a wireless > router SoC done by the WLAN team.

What both Ray and Jon said does not contradict with each other, this platform uses some iProc peripherals (supposedly why the Broadcom SDK shows it as a Northstar), but is not a genuine iProc architecture as defined for e.g NS/NSP/NS2. For consistency it sounds like we would want this symbol in Other architectures since only a few iProc peripherals are used.
