Re: [PATCH 10/14] ps3: get firmware version

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Anyway, that is the need, the question is where to make it available.  I thought
/proc/cpuinfo already has the platform type (coming from the generic powerpc
code), so it would be convenient for utilities to have the firmware version
there too.  I don't think parsing the dmsg is an option for minimal
configs like bootloaders and distro installers, as they may not keep the boot
messages around, and in general doesn't seem a reliable way.  If you can make
a suggestion, I'd like to hear it.
Yeah, /proc/cpuinfo is actually a fairly convenient place for that...

Ben.
