Potential bike-shed fodder, but, a dumb question: is the family name
actually "tangox" or is the "x" for the number (tango3, tango4, etc.)

Assuming it's the later based on usage throughout the patch, I think
it'd be better to just use "tango" throughout instead of tangox.

Also a MAINTAINERS file entry is appropriate for this new platform
support (as scripts/checkpatch.pl should have told you.)
