Arbitrary number of bits? Some will have a 64-bit ID, some will have 32-bit
etc.

Should we say it's a hex string of 64 bits?

For Ux500 we can export the stuff we print today in mach-ux500/id.c,
put in place earlier by Rabin, I'd prefer if you hook in the new ID stuff
there as well, since it's so little platform code, and a logical place to
have it in.

Yeah, sounds good.
