The PX reports itself as a PMAG-CA, whereas the entire PXG family
reports itself as PMAG-DA. I don't know where PMAGB-EA comes from
though, since the option is called a PMAG-E.
The differences between each PXG are trivial, so having a single
option name makes sense. Basically:
o number of VDACs
o SRAM size (128kB/256kB)
o presense of each buf. type, # planes in said buffers
