I think OMAP people decided in the end that using 'system_rev' for the
SoC was wrong.  'system_rev' was added for NetWinders so that the board
level hardware version could be given to the kernel.

They've since moved over to a different approach, and storing the SoC
revision in their own private omap_revision variable.

Is this something s3c should also consider?
