These lines were useful as basic device information,
and as reference to wiki "CodeNames"
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames

"This page contains a list of some NVIDIA chip code names and their corresponding official GeForce number. If you're running a recent version nouveau, you can find your chipset by doing dmesg | grep -i chipset. This will always be correct, whereas the lists below are approximate."

Notice "dmesg | grep -i chipset"

BTW "NVIDIA" is already visible via 'lspci' - lspci | grep VGA

So only gain is unnecessary information reduction and redundancy.

Please bring Chipset & Family back.
