Actually I think the issue is that on the original Touch (N905) this was not utilized / implemented.

For instance, if you look in /etc/init.d/upgrade-wifi.sh you see

PLATFORM=freescale
if [ `dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 skip=1024 count=1 | grep -c "HW CONFIG"` == 1 ]; then
        CPU=`ntx_hwconfig -s -p /dev/mmcblk0 CPU`
        PLATFORM=$CPU-ntx
fi

if [ $CPU ]; then
        PCB=`ntx_hwconfig -s -p /dev/mmcblk0 PCB`
        RAM=`ntx_hwconfig -s -p /dev/mmcblk0 RAMType`
        RAM_SIZE=`ntx_hwconfig -s -p /dev/mmcblk0 RamSize`
....

[ $PLATFORM == freescale ] && UBOOT=/mnt/onboard/.kobo/upgrade/u-boot.bin
[ $PLATFORM == freescale ] && KERNEL=/mnt/onboard/.kobo/upgrade/uImage

so if there is NO HW Config section available then PLATFORM remains freescale and UBOOT and KERNEL are set to what could be called default values.
