Since the anatop code can be used by other SoCs aswell and you're saying
that even the other i.MX6 SoC variants may have a different numbering I
think adding a comment to the code is the best we can do.
The only other possibility I can think of is to make the info string we
print during boot SoC specific again, but I think we are all glad that
this isn't the case anymore.
So adding a comment should be fine. At least the code would be the place
I would look if I remembered that there is some inconsistency and don't
know exactly what it was.
