Is Shark a board or an SOC? The subject line of the patch and the contents
seem to disagree here.

It's generally better to have the exact SoC product numbers in here, e.g.
"sprd,sc1234", in case we have to apply fixups based on the SoC. You should
also have a board specific string in addition to the SoC-specific one.
