You can pull for-l-o-3.5 as it is now, there's no need to change it.
This _cansleep change is a separate dss specific change.

So to summarize:

Currently the powerdown GPIO for tfp410 is handled in the board files
(and called reset gpio), with gpio_set_value(). My cleanup series moves
this to the tfp410 driver.

BB-xM needs to use gpio_set_value_cansleep() in tfp410 to function
properly, so the tfp410 driver needs to be changed, as this patch does.
I will take this patch to the dss tree.

So it's safe to pull my cleanup series, but if I understood correctly,
applying Russ's "[PATCH v4] ARM: OMAP: Cleanup Beagleboard DVI reset
gpio" will cause WARN_ONs on BB-xM until this patch to tfp410 is also
applied.

But it doesn't sound too serious, so I think it's safe to apply the
"cleanup beagleboard dvi" patch also. The warning will go away when both
l-o and dss trees are pulled in the merge window.
