I like the idea of identifying the soc version for any number of
reasons, but I would hope there was some way of doing this that didn't
involve probing the PCI device. I know this is the traditional way
on orion/kirkwood/dove/... but it always felt wrong to me.

Would it be reasonable to reuse the global "system_rev" variable for this
rather than a platform specific exported function?

Maybe EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, out of principle?

I guess all this will fail if for some reason the PCIe node is not
present on machines that don't use PCIe.
