[patch 1/9] efikamx: read board id

[Matt Sealey]

No like I said several boards will work with the code as the pcb design has changed. I am sure the few people with 1.0 boards would like to run 2.6.36 too.

It's just about decoupling the setting of the pins and reporting the board id. Set the board id pins up first. Then do some other stuff. Then go back before you need it, and set system_rev up.
