I guess since all their problems they've streamlined & kept only one that they'll focus on selling.
It could be a good indicator that Jolla's locked them in as their SoC provider, or maybe not.

*even more so than the A9500 listed in their new "application processors" category

"On December 10, 2012, ST-Ericsson announced that STMicroelectronics will leave the joint venture after a transition period making Ericsson the full owner of the Company.[5]

On December 20, 2012, Ericsson announced that they will not buy the remaining 50% stake that STMicroelectronics held. The future for the company therefore remains uncertain.[6"
