Currently the default silicon - in absence of
identification - is set to OMAP3630 ES1.0.
Though, condition may/should not arise; but
the default should be latest in the most
common silicon variant - currently OMAP3430
ES3.1.
Is this still needed? To me it seems more likely there will
more 3630 based silicon than 3430 based silicon?
3430 ES3.1s are the most common I believe. All boards in the wild
are 3430 based.
3630 is just coming up and will take a while to be as common.
IMO, 3430 ES3.1 should be default.

[sp] That's exactly the reason for this patch.
There is a small typo in the comment though :(
/* Unknown. Default to latest among all variants */
Should be:
/* Unknown. Default to common among all variants */
Sending a v2 for the same.
I believe this patch should be dropped -> here is why -> if you have new
silicons that are in 3430 category, you should be sending patches for
them ;)..
The latest and greatest in the bucket of silicons is 3630 and I would
rather go with felipe's patch [1] cleaning up the id.c than this -> in
my opinion, hitting this condition is only because you have the next
generation of devices..
