[PATCH] powerpc: Fix major revision number for Freescale cores

Some 74xx cores by Freescale are using the configuration field instead 
of the major revision field for their revision number. This patch 
corrects the wrong behaviour for those ppc cores including my one.

There is a reference document at Freecale. It decribes the PVR register. 
The patch is based on that pdf. You can find the document here:
