OK thanks for this correction.

The desire of this patch is to make it clear to the eye that a register 
that was introduced in what we will now call "IP_V2" is being touched. 
That is good because then code like

	if (dev->rev == BLAH_IP_V1)
		touch(BLAH_BLAH_IP_V2);

will stand out clearly as wrong.  So I will update the patch rather than 
drop it, since the IP_Vn scheme is a much better fit for what is 
actually being done.  If you still don't like it we can forget about it 
then.
