Even though ES1.0 is present in id.c, we have 0 support for ES1.0.

ES1.0 was more or less a test chip, no production devices were
manufactured with it, no public boards (including uevms) are available
to purchase with ES1.0. Further, inside TI, all ES1.0 samples and
boards have been scrapped and replaced with ES2.0 platforms.

In short, no users and dead code in kernel tree. I dont see why we
cant just cleanup OMAP5 ES1.0 entirely from kernel tree?
