Don't read too much into the actual #defines. Some of them can be
misleading because of how they are set (if you are interested look at
CYGPKG_HAL_ARM_EDB7XXX_CFLAGS_ADD in the CDL).

Instead simply make sure that CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_EDB7XXX_VARIANT is set to
EP7212.

At this point change CYGHWR_HAL_ARM_EDB7XXX_VARIANT
