Binary package hint: udev

When looking for the formware 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

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

I checked this on several system and got the same inconsistent information.

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