No please don't. Arnd will merge things into those branches to build his topic specif branches for merging. Always use mainline Linux tags where possible, or static branches in linux-omap tree that have been specifically pointed out. We want to keep dependencies to other trees minimal as they may pull in other patches too. It also makes it harder to keep track of the the omap specific code, and makes it harder to do topic specific pull requests easily. For example, most patches done against current devel-board should merge fine with everything else.
