[PATCH 2/2] ARM: bcm2835: Detect system revision

The Raspberry Pi bootloader provides a revision code[0] in the
devicetree, at /system/linux,revision. The downstream kernel then uses
this DT property to fill the system_rev variable, which is exposed to
userspace via the "Revision" field in /proc/cpuinfo. Some software[1]
relies on this in order to determine the Raspberry Pi model.

This patch ports the revision detection from the downstream Raspberry Pi
kernel.
