As R5 is backward compatible we can just have one universal kernel binary. Allowing P5600 and M5150 to run on R2 kernel does not bring much overhead. In fact only several bytes are added to kernel binary. (Actually although M5150 is advertising as R5 it’s technically R2 because it does not implement some features mandatory for R5.)
