I'm using just mainline u-boot flashed as kernel for nolo that
then loads the kernel.

For passing the board revision using the pass through u-boot is
probably the best long term solution. U-boot can read the ATAGs
from nolo and modify the .dtb for the revision information.

Are you saying there are some issues with that?

Are there other ATAGs needed beyond the ATAG_REVISION?
