Not sure I understand this. The chip revision comes from the chipcommon 
register [1]. Maybe that is what you mean by "PCI revision number". For 
some chips it is possible OTP is used to override that.

maybe good to use local reference for devinfo->settings->board_type, 
which is used several times below.
