unless i missed something, there is no standard "rev" variable today, which 
means this change can easily break anyone who happens to already be using a 
variable named "rev".

i also don't see value here in hardcoding another variable that:
	- no one is setting
	- is way too generic (rev of *what* ?  cpu ?  board ?  u-boot ?  
something else ?)
	- adds nothing on top of the existing "serial#"

so NAK from me
