I'm thinking that you probably can't do this with pca based on the
showrev output. The main reason is that when you download a PROM
patch, you usually don't install it with patchadd. Instead you unzip
the PROM patch and run some other utility, based on the included
README files, which will never appear in the showrev output. Also,
this should be confirmed that the second column of your pca output
(Installed Revision) shows '--' for every PROM patch since it can't be
found from showrev.
