If you align the second part of the test like this:

             if ((plat->pred == all_versions) ||
                 (plat->pred == less_than_or_equal	&& hdr.oem_revision <= plat->oem_revision) ||
                 (plat->pred == greater_than_or_equal	&& hdr.oem_revision >= plat->oem_revision) ||
                 (plat->pred == equal			&& hdr.oem_revision == plat->oem_revision))

it gets maximally readable. But I'd leave that up to Rafael when committing
- no need to send another version.

Other than that:
