No it isn't. The suffix is part of the part number. The part number
is not the same thing as the chip name.

Please don't do that. Please fix the name to correspond to the real
world. The code you are writing is communicating with a piece of
hardware that is expected to behave a certain way. Which package
the hardware comes in is utterly irrelevant for the behavior of the
hardware in this case, so please do not garble the name with that noise.

Thank you
