Reading the make menuconfig docs/notes on properties, there is reference to "Revision 1" of the ESP32 having a bug.

See for example the make menuconfig property called "CONFIG_SPIRAM_CACHE_WORKAROUND".

This spawns some questions to me that I have not previously had need to consider and am looking for community guidance.

Q1:) What is the history and timeline of ESP32 releases?
Q2:) What is the currently release version of the ESP32
Q3:) How can we tell which release of the ESP32 we are using:
- Physically by visual inspection.
- Programatically from within an ESP-IDF based application.

The answers to these questions will help me address some short term thinking such as:

"Do I need to enable these work-arounds on my board?"

            chip_info.cores,
            (chip_info.features & CHIP_FEATURE_BT) ? "/BT" : "",
            (chip_info.features & CHIP_FEATURE_BLE) ? "/BLE" : "");

    printf("silicon revision %d, ", chip_info.revision);

    printf("%dMB %s flash\n", spi_flash_get_chip_size() / (1024 * 1024),
