Otherwise, if the revision number is effectively non probable, then I 
would guess it is the device tree's purpose to carry that information 
somehow, right?  Maybe this can be appended to the board name string?

That's what I meant with adding it to "compatible", which is a list of
strings with varying degrees of detailed information, e.g.

  ti,omap7
  ti,omap7-squirrelboard
  ti,omap7-squirrelboard-v3
  ti,omap7-squirrelboard-v3.17b

You can match the list against a specific revision or a less specific
identifier if you just want to know whether you are on a squirrelboard
or a hamsterboard.
