There are couple of kernel patches which depend on this, that's why I ask. Thanks, Sekhar

Tested on da850evm -- bootm of linux uImage works with the patch 'da850evm: fix linux bootparam address' aplied. The kernel uImage used did not have support for parsing the ATAG_REVISION information since that patch has not been posted to the davinci-linux list.

The TI DA850/OMAP-L138/AM18x EVM can be populated with devices having different maximum allowed CPU clock rating. The maximum clock the chip can support can only be determined from the label on the package (not software readable). Introduce a method to pass the maximum allowed clock rate information to kernel using ATAG_REVISION. The kernel uses this information to determine the maximum cpu clock rate reachable using cpufreq. Note that U-Boot itself does not set the CPU clock rate. The CPU clock is setup by a primary bootloader ("UBL"). The rate setup by UBL could be different from the maximum clock rate supported by the device.
