tegra_init_fuse in arch/arm/mach-tegra/fuse.c is already reading chip id
revision register, so I can implement one function to read this register
in fuse.c, which will be used by clock driver and tegra_init_fuse.
But then we need to add it to some header file in include/mach or
include/linux, where? any suggestion?
