SRU justification:

Impact: When booting official Maverick pre-installed images on OMAP4 
blaze board, with standard wlan packages installed (tiwlan-wl1271*), the 
blaze board crashes on wlan driver init.

Fix: The problem is fixed by registering the wlan device exclusively on 
pandaboard (the wlan device on blaze board is not compatible).

Testcase: install the standard TI packages on the Maverick OMAP4 
pre-installed image running on a blaze board. On next boot, the platform 
crashes while loading the wlan driver.

BugLink: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap4/+bug/665039

This issue is fixed by the below (and also attached) patch.

Subject: [PATCH] wlan: register wlan device only on pandaboard

Registering the wlan device on blaze triggers the loading
of user-space wlan drivers for 1271 chip. These user-space
drivers are not compatible with the 1283 chip of the blaze and
cause a kernel crash.

The event is the same whatever the wlan controller, which
prevents managing different wlan drivers in user-space.

This patch registers the wlan device only on pandaboard.
Long term, we would like to generate different events depending
on the wlan controller.

Methinks y'all are forgetting the patch that defines 
machine_is_omap4_panda().
