ARM: bcm2835: Set Serial number and Revision

The VideoCore bootloader passes in Serial number and
Revision number through Device Tree. Make these available to
userspace through /proc/cpuinfo.

Mainline status:

There is a commit in linux-next that standardize passing the serial
number through Device Tree (string: /serial-number):
ARM: 8355/1: arch: Show the serial number from devicetree in cpuinfo

There was an attempt to do the same with the revision number, but it
didn't get in:
[PATCH v2 1/2] arm: devtree: Set system_rev from DT revision
