In dmesg we currently print something like:

    Exynos: CPU[EXYNOS4412] PRO_ID[0xe4412000] REV[0x11] Detected

where PRO_ID is given in datasheet as:

    [31:12] Product ID
      [9:8] Package information
      [7:4] Main Revision Number
      [3:0] Sub Revision Number

By printing PRO_ID[0xe4412000] it gives the impression that Package
information, Main Revision Number and Sub Revision Number are all 0.

Sure, I see the reason for only printing the product id. Would you
accept a patch write Product_ID instead of PRO_ID in the printed
message? So that we print:

    Exynos: CPU[EXYNOS4412] Product_ID[0xe4412000] REV[0x11] Detected

There's then less room for confusion regarding the revision, since
Product_ID should contain only the Product ID, unlike PRO_ID which
should contain both Product ID and revision info.
