Actually, the original code is correct.

For boards with the Broadcom ID, this function checks that the boardrev is
sane. Dev boards that aren't properly configured may have invalid info, so this
check is mainly to catch that problem.

For boards with any other vendor, we don't have any sanity checks that we know
should be done, so the board info is always considered good.

The device ID is of course always checked.
