IIRC, then the main reason for this is the code size reduction. Using your 
version would increase the code size quite a bit. But I concur, it would be 
much better readable. So just let me know, and I'll try to come up with a 
patch cleaning this up a bit.

As described in some comments, the problem is that some SoC's have the same 
PVR (for example 440EP rev C and 440GR rev B have same PVR). I have no idea 
how this identification could be solved without such ifdef's.

But you are right. Some of the ifdef's can be removed. Again, this would also 
result in a bigger image size though.

Cheers,
Stefan
