Sure. There are two encoding schemes. For most boards, the revision
number is a simple integer that indicates the board type. A list can be
found at:

(There's also a bit that indicates the Pi has been over-volted in there,
so you need to mask off 0x1000000 or just use the LS byte when
extracting the revision.)

The RPi2 and RPi0 introduce a more complex multi-field encoding scheme
described at:

You can find how U-Boot interprets the revision fields at:

Also see the various xx_models[] arrays, and some more links at:
