Faraday FA526
The FA526 is only a RISC without any chipset components.
This CPU has integrated in chips like the A320.
SoC Development Chip (A320) The A320 is a SoC development chip in Faraday's SoCreative! SoC development platform. With this silicon-verified chip, developers can concentrate on their own IP design and emulate the entire system at full speed. The A320 successfully integrates Faraday's FA526, a 32-bit Faraday ARM architecture RISC CPU, with memory controllers for SDRAM, SRAM, ROM and flash, memory card controllers for CF and SD/MMC cards, an Ethernet MAC, a USB2.0 device controller, SSP, I2C, AC97, UART, IrDA, LCD controller and more. The A320's efficient AHB extension bus allows customers to verify IPs from multiple sources.
Gemini™ SL3516 Network Processor
I have checked my information:
The SL3516 is the used processor for the NAS-4220!
Raidsonic has confirmed this information!

I can't still understand why the FA526 entry appears in cpuinfo. Does it mean FA526 is a part of SL3516?

@Eraser: I mean you are right. My further searches resulted that the FA526 is the AMR9 CPU which is working in the SL3516:
