OK I guess it should not be needed for DT based booting.

Thinking about this probably the best long term solution is
to pass optional board_revision in the kernel cmdline that
can be parsed early and copied to system_rev variable.

Or if you can think of some other way to get it, we can set
system_rev in pdata-quirks.c.

Or maybe add some code to copy the ATAGs somewhere where
they are out of the way and don't conflict with the device
tree data? Then we can query ATAG_REVISION from pdata-quirks.c
and set system_rev.
