I have to take this back. I missed the part where some pmics are on
slave id 2 or slave id 4, so this check isn't going to work. I've
adjusted it to use sid % 2 instead and I'll resend these two patches,
but I imagine to be more robust we're going to need to add a revid node
to the DT under the SID that actually has it. Then we can search the
child nodes for a revid compatible node and do the rev probing stuff.
