It provides the information on ubuntu 21.04 "Linux ubuntu
5.11.0-1009-raspi" but not on Fedora 34 server. So overall:
a mix.

Works on ubuntu 21.04 "Linux ubuntu 5.11.0-1009-raspi"
but not on Fedora 34. It might be something that can be
installed. (It was present in the Fedora as configured
but failed to initialize. I'm unsure if it was a separate
install.) So, again, overall a mix.

But it was:

# cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model

that worked in all 3 contexts that I happen to have
around. Being Linux, that might not generalize well.

I'm out of other ideas if various OS's must be
avoided, sorry.
