No. There is more extensive board revision information in the EEPROM
though, which is indeed available at runtime via the separately
submitted TLV series.

I am not sure if a generation is always equal to the major version - 1.
It seems we have no minor revisions != 0 in the field.

If Leonard (Cc'd) doesn't object, I'll mask away the lower 2 bits for v2.

s/FIT/FIP. First stage bootloader is TF-A.

There is no first stage boot.
