Nobody outside of Google, HTC and/or Qualcomm will know the internal
names for these devices.

The majority of kernel.org developers don't work for Google, HTC and/or
Qualcomm.  The internal names are therefore meaningless to the majority
of kernel.org developers.

Internet searches by the internal platform names will turn up nothing
useful.

I say use the product release names.  But in board-nexusone.c add a
comment that says "this board is also known as: ...".
