The minor revision means that the set of HW workarounds might be
different. Specifically it appears that "BASE_HW_ISSUE_TTRX_3485"
applies to G57 ('Natt') r0p0 but not r0p1.

That particular workaround is a horrendous "dummy job" in kbase and we
don't have an implementation in Panfrost. However Panfrost also doesn't
(yet[1]) proactively SOFT_STOP jobs so is also unlikely to be affected.

TLDR; Minor revision 1 has a HW bug fixed, Panfrost isn't affected by
the bug anyway.

[1] It's been on my todo list for a while to look at improving job
scheduling, but to be honest I doubt I'm going to get round to it with
Panfrost, and PanCSF obviously changes the job scheduling anyway.
