However, it seems to me a half-way clean up. As we have already
factorize function for printing the cpu revision and the reset cause, I
will see in the checkboard only board related information. If there is
no revision number for board, printing only the board name as you make
for the LOCO is correct.

Taking as example the efika board (all boards make the same):

The only new information is the board name. If I am not wrong,
system_rev & 0xff contains only the cpu revision, and the switch prints
out the silicon version. Everything already done in print_cpuinfo as well.

Yes, but this it is redundant with the print_cpuinfo(). As you plan to
clean up the code, this part should be cleaned up as well. Or do you
think there is something not covered by the common code ?

Agree.
