- correct the chipset names (from CMDxxx to PCI-xxx)

Please explain why this rename is a correction.

  Because the chips are officially named PCI064[036] and PCI-64[89].

We normally name things with a combination of brand and chip number.
Lots of companies could have chips with PCI in the name,
but the CMD64x designator makes it quite clear what we're dealing with here.

  Note that I'm only changing designator in the procfs output, i.e. not something important to end user.

In the machines I have here with these chips,
they are clearly labelled as "CMD" and then "PCI646.."

  Although I've never seen the chip, I guess that should be logo, not the name.
