Since most of the code seemed repetitive, macros
have been used for readability.

I like the feature-based approach.

A couple questions though.  Is there a bit/register that reports the
collapsed powerdomains of the devices with modified PRCM?

Also, how will other code query the features?  You're currently
exporting the omap_has_*() functions, but there are no prototypes.

I think I'd rather see a static inline functions in <mach/cpu.h>
for checking features.  Comments to that end inlined below...
Wonder if we can setup some sort of infrastructure for:
a) features
b) erratas
linked to OMAP revs + even better w.r.t silicon module(SGX,I2c)
revisions since at times they are used across multiple OMAPs?
We are hitting exactly this issue with I2C errata 1.153
Instead of basing the errata check on cpu_is...(), its more appropriate to base it on IP revision of I2C.

Shouldn't the IP revision of I2C be avaialble in an I2C revision
register an be used in the driver instead of cpu_is*?
what I was proposing is a much more generic infrastructure which i2c among other modules can use. Getting IP revision is already available in the specific IP modules REVISION registers - we might want to standardize how drivers handle revision based feature/errata set to ensure that they would have an optimal way to handle the same.. just my 2 cents..
