This was raised and discussed before:

<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/73579/match=orion5x+device+revision>

For any other purpose than identification of the actual SoC, I would 
have agreed about removing anything not related to 5182. But here, 
precisely, the code is trying to print the identity of the *actual* SoC 
it is being run on, as opposed to that of the *assumed* SoC it was 
compiled for.

Thus here the code must define and test for as many device and revision 
IDs as possible so as to give the most accurate information possible.

This is epxlicitely stated in the comments before the identification 
function and the device and revision defines.

 > also moving 5281 specific code to mv88f5182.h will make this patch 
clean and complete.

If you're talking about the device / variant IDs, I don't think they 
should move for the reason above; if that's something else, can you be 
more precise?

 > Rest everything seems to be okay

Ok. If we can agree about the identification function, then I'll post a 
final V8 patch with GPIO/MPP enabled.
