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?

Tony
