OK, Tomi, can you please set up a banch against mainline -rc7 with
whatever board-*.c dss2 patches you want me to pull? I'll pull them
into omap-for-linus, and rebase omap for-next on those.

In general, omap-for-linus should be static for Linus to pull, while
omap for-next still changes based on the comments.

Sure I'll can pull whatever Tomi thinks is OK. Just please
make sure that before I pull, all the dss2 board-*.c patches have
been reviewed on both linux-omap and linux-arm-kernel lists.

We should probably also start merging Tomi's drivers/video/omap branch
into omap master branch on regular basis for testing.

Regards,

Tony
