OK, so nobody has reported anything and below is the patch I'm planning to
apply (before restoring _REV=2).
Please let me know if there are objections.

Subject: ACPI / init: Make it possible to override _REV
The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as
the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration
information in a special way.
For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision,
Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA
mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux
until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user
space).
Since ACPI 6 mandates that _REV should return "2" if ACPI 2 or later
is supported by the OS, a subsequent change will make that happen, so
make it possible to override that on systems where "5" is expected to
be returned for Linux to work correctly one them (such as the Dell
machine mentioned above).
