Yeah, this code is wrong.  If wifi_pkg is valid but tbl_rev is != 0,
then we will return a valid pointer instead of an error.  I'll fix
this.

But regarding blacklisting one, I think it's better as it is.  We mean
that the only revision we support is 0, if we get 1 or higher, we
return -EINVAL, because we handle it.  When we add support for other
revisions, we need to change it.

Thanks for reporting!

(and yeah, I'll handle the other occurrences you mentioned too).
