[PATCH] ARM: dt: Use the 'model' field for printing the hardware revision

When booting a device tree kernel, we get the following output from 
'cat /proc/cpuinfo': 

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo 
processor       : 0
model name      : ARMv7 Processor rev 5 (v7l)
BogoMIPS        : 531.66
Features        : swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls 
CPU implementer : 0x41
CPU architecture: 7
CPU variant     : 0x2
CPU part        : 0xc08
CPU revision    : 5

Hardware        : Freescale i.MX51 (Device Tree Support)
Revision        : 0000
Serial          : 0000000000000000

The Hardware line does not really describe the hardware type, as it is reading
the information from the dt 'machine' field.

In the dt case, read the 'model' field instead, so that we can have a better
description output as follows:

Hardware        : Freescale i.MX51 Babbage Board

The hardware output string is unchanged for the non-dt kernel case.
