C'mon Pete, it's obviously a typo! It predates my involvement with the code - hell, I never even knew that "Nevada" was the QED code name for the R5200 family before I started hacking on the MIPS Linux kernel, even though I had an R5230 system in my lab. The "6" is probably shifted left one position from "R5260", which was, I believe, the first chip of the Nevada family to ship.
No idea how the 6 ended up there; I wrote the Nevada support for Cobalt's Qube which originally using a R5230, the small brother of the 5260 with just a 32 bit external bus. Anyway, I fixed that buglet. Ralf
