OK, fine. I'll add it to omap-for-linus and merge it. No need to wait a week on this. With the recent changes all known mach-omap2 boards should be now bootable with just: $ rm .config $ echo CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP=y > .config $ yes "" | ARCH=arm make oldconfig Of course the drivers still need to be selected and CMDLINE needs to be set for some boards not suporting bootloader cmdline options. And CONFIG_SMP can't be selected on uncore boards.
