Well how about patch u-boot to allow saveenv the revision
and then pass it to kernel as ATAG_REVISION? That's available
as system_rev in the kernel. Then you can initialize the platform
devices in the board-*.c files.

The other option would be to somehow to detect the hardware
during the boot, but that may not work for all the devices.
