Well the powervr node should use a powervr generic binding that
does not yet exist. I think the TI tree binding could be easily
modified for a generic binding. So first doing a binding patch
for powervr and Cc dt list and SoC maintainers with powervr on
them would help.

And then eventually the powervr generic node should be a child
node under the "target-module" node in the dtsi file. See what
we have for gpu target-module@56000000 in omap4.dtsi.

Note that the interconnect target module does not yet work for
omap3 as the clocks are different. I'll be posting patches for
the clocks over next few weeks.

Regards,

Tony
