It might be nice if the probe > message in which these strings appear used hex for the "rev" value too... I'll look into this when I have some spare time. There is code to print messages based on the contents of arbitrary configuration registers (see what's done for the Intel Saturn chip-set, for example, that's the one I implemented the feature for, originally ...) But in fact I think those register dumps should be moved out of the kernel and into a user-land program, which accesses the configuration registers through the ioctl interface (/dev/pci), see pciconf.
