Why not keep the Revision type and its Display impl as well?

I just felt like it's not quite pulling its weight. But clearly
that feeling is not widely shared, so I'll put it back in. :)


impl Spec {
@@ -162,11 +142,25 @@ fn new(bar: &Bar0) -> Result<Spec> {

This could just be:

write!(
f,
"Chipset: {}, Architecture: {:?}, Revision: {}",
self.chipset,
self.chipset.arch(),
self.revision,
)


Yes. That is nicer.

thanks,
