Good point. On my board it's 0xffffffff, set even before U-boot starts,
and lots board support code in U-boot expects this. I can't immediately
find examples in the linux source code that actually writes to the scfg,
so I don't know if we already have that as an implicit assumption as
well. But it would be kind of nasty to have to make the code read
SCFG_SCFGREVCR and decide the bit pattern to use based on that -
especially since I wouldn't be able to test it.

Who thought such a magic switch could ever be a good idea?
