The machine type check is there to protect from (theoretical) cases where the n2100 code (incl. the RTL8169 quirk) may be compiled in, but the kernel is used on another machine.
That is far from a theoretical case. The ARM port has always supported multiple machines in a single kernel. They just had to be "compatible" in other words, the same SoC. All the platforms supported by arch/arm/mach-iop32x can be built as a single kernel image and run on any of those platforms. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
