UBUNTU: SAUCE: IMX51: only export NEON flag to userspace on Freescale iMX51 rev3.x or later silicon
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507416 NEON function is broken on old Freescale iMX51 silicons, such as rev1.x and rev2.x. Since more and more iMX51 based products will move to rev3.x or later silicon, we need to enable NEON on these newer silicons and disable NEON on those old ones. This patch will detect the silicon revision dynamically and only export NEON flag to userspace on Freescale iMX51 rev3.x or later silicon. It was tested on Babbage 3.0 board and Babbage 2.x board.
