The Max10 BMC on the Silicom n5010 PAC is slightly different than the
existing BMC's, so use a dedicated feature revision detect it.

Changes since v1:
  * use feature revision from struct dfl_device instead of reading it
    from io-mem

Is there no way to query the mc for version info?

Do you mean reading the BMC variant (i.e. n5010 / d5005 / n3000) from a
register?

Not in a uniform way across the different boards that I'm aware of. But
isn't this what the DFL feature revision is meant for?

If this is used to distinguish different boards, then revision (4bits?) may not

On the one hand, the revision is being used to distinguish the board. More precisely, the feature ID id determining the actual hardware involved, altera-spi connected to a particular indirect register mailbox. This is a different feature id used by the n3000 which has a different indirect register mailbox with a NIOS hanshake. So in this case the revision is being used to specify remote end of the SPI connection, d5005 BMC vs. n5010 BMC.

I think in this case 4 bits is enough. We've only had two instances of this hardware in 5 years. Certainly any future instances of this hardware should have a register describing the remote end of the SPI connection. This hardware change would then require a new feature id.

be enough. New version DFH may be able to resolve this limitation, but it
is always encouraged to have its own method to tell if possible, not depending
on DFH, it makes this IP easy to be reused in non DFL case.

Thanks
