I have split the patch into 3 parts in issue 0036616.

On a related note, I have some developer board aliases from Michael (R) and
Dimitrios.  The board names are defined as new controllers, but the
controllerunitstr has the name of the on-board controller. An example for
Arduino Uno (popular hobbyist board):
controllertypestr:'ARDUINOUNO'; controllerunitstr:'ATMEGA328P';

Would these kind of aliases be allowed in cpuinfo? I guess it would help
hobbyist beginners that only know the name of a board to have a slightly
easier start in FPC.
