This certainly looks like a step in the right direction, thanks for doing this.

FYI, after talking with Arnd this is the testing/platform-data branch in the arm soc tree. Seems to build and work fine on omaps: Tested-by: Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com> Arnd, can you please provide a stable branch to use as a base of other related header changes? Regards, Tony

Actually it's probably best if I just take your commit 0c6f1498 (ARM: omap: move platform_data definitions) into my cleanup branch to avoid the dependency of getting acks from all the subarch maintainers. That's because I want to base more things on this patch that will cause merge conflicts otherwise. Also, Peter Ujfalusi wanted to change the dsp-mcbsp.h name to ti-mcbsp.h. I can post the updated patch assuming hat's OK with you Arnd? Regards, Tony
