Most of the time, we do not want to use the IP revision because it is
un-accurate and does not reflect the change we'd like to track.
For example some time a minor change in the RTL that will not impact
the SW at all might trigger a change in the IP revision, whereas on
the other hand a major bug fix that will impact the SW is not capture
in the IP revision... yeah, that's bad, but this can happen.
That's why we are relying on a rev field in the hwmod.
But then, what's inside this rev field ? Is it some internal revision of
hwmod or do you read from the hw ?
So far we are using a artificial SW IP revision that reflect the
difference we'd like to highlight v1, v2.
