Fixlet shows relevance for Power 8 machines

I have a Power 8 870 that runs AIX 7.2 Lpars. BigFixx showing relevance for this entry for Power 9 machines even though it is a P8.

AIX 7.2: Interim Fix - Security Advisory: AIX and VIOS iFixes released in response to a vulnerability in IBM POWER9 (IJ28226s1a.201117.epkg.Z) Medium Patches for AIX 3 / 23 0 Interim Fix - Security Advisory 9.92 MB IBM IJ28226 11/19/2020

I think it is keying on the file set not the machine type, is there a way to make BigFixx to only trigger on the hardware type?

The AIX inspectors for processor get the information from the proc_info structure which is the equivalent of running the following

prtconf | grep -i "Processor Type"

Thanks, is that a setting for the AIX clients that have to be set?
