When identify_cpu() is called a second time with a logical PVR, it only
copies a subset of the cpu_spec structure to avoid overwriting the
performance monitor fields that were initialized based on the real PVR.
If the real PVR is not recognized, the structure is initialized with
default data in which the pvr_mask field is zero. Overriding the default
definition with the one based on the logical PVR does not update the
pvr_mask field. Since the pvr_mask field remains zero, show_cpuinfo()
reports the cpu as "unknown".
identify_cpu() should update the pvr_mask, so that show_cpuinfo() reports
the logical cpu name, as it would if the kernel recognized the real PVR.
For completeness, this patch also updates pvr_value, although its only
use appears to be in booke_wdt_init() setting ident.firmware_version. I'm
not sure which value (the real or logical) is the most useful here, if it
matters at all.
