Looks like everything got applied, but just for the record:

Switching the default meaning of "google,snow" to Rev5 is probably not
something we'd ever want to do, since it could confuse "rev3" boards
(which should be serviced by the rev4 dts).  From comments in the
Chrome OS tree:

In the "rev4" DTS:
         * - Any real rev 0-3 boards in the field will match "google,snow",
         *   since older U-Boots don't look for a revision specific device tree.
         * - Any real rev 4 boards in the field will match "google,snow-rev4"
         *   first.  If that's not present they will pick the first
         *   "google,snow" device tree that they find (ignoring the kernel
         *   ordering).

In the "rev5" DTS:
         * - Purposely don't add "google,snow" so old firmware (which didn't
         *   include a -revN suffix) won't pick this one.
