[ Upstream commit 1bcbe7300815e91fef18ee905b04f65490ad38c9 ]
When SoC's revision value is 0, SoC driver will print out
"unknown" in sysfs's revision node, this "unknown" is a
static string which can NOT be freed, this will caused below
kernel dump in later error path which calls kfree:
kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3942!

This patch fixes this potential kernel dump when a chip's
revision is "unknown", it is done by checking whether the
revision space can be freed.
