Title:
  Last two characters of ID_REVISION (firmware version) are inverted

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  When looking for the firmware version of my hard disk (/dev/sda), I
  found out the last two characters reported by udevadm are inverted:

  $ udevadm  info --name=/dev/sda --query=property | grep ID_REVISION
  ID_REVISION=2CV102DH

  I believe the above information is also used by palimpsest, see:
  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/57881569/40%20GB%20Solid-State%20Disk%20%28ATA%20INTEL%20SSDSA2M040G2GC%29%20%5B-dev-sda%5D%20%E2%80%94%20Disk%20Utility_002.png

  This is very inconvenient when trying to determine if such a disk
  needs a firmware upgrade on a headless system.

  dmesg, however, has the right information:
  magicfab at winston:~$ dmesg | grep ATA-7
  [    2.902938] ata3.00: ATA-7: INTEL SSDSA2M040G2GC, 2CV102HD, max UDMA/133

  I checked this on several systems and got the same inconsistent
  information. I haven't checked dmegs output from a live CD to see if
  it would include the fixed HD information, though.

  I've filed a separate bug about lshw reporting only part of such
  information, Bug #663349.
