Maybe. But then it was wrong also before the patch i guess. The problem with 
OS_OSCOMPILE is that it can return only a 32bit value, so you won't be able to 
squeeze all the possible isa names/cpu types/whatever for coldfire into it. 
The best thing would maybe to set the major cpu id to 1, as that, according to 
the documentation, would indicate a non-m68k processor. And maybe the core 
version (mcf_v1 etc.) into the minor id. But i would leave the remaining bits 
out, after all all that information is not really very useful for 
applications, as it only tells how the kernel was compiled, but nothing about 
the running system. And it also does not guarantee that all the drivers for 
example were compiled the same way.
