https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/omap3-gta04.dts

exists but is far from being complete, because the transition to DT is really complex.

We still need some (private) board file for 3.13 and hope to have everything ready
for 3.14. But that depends on speed of acceptance of other drivers because
all DT things are still constantly moving.

So we will have to mix DT+board file for a while.
